Added way to not launch packager during CI build, as it hangs CI builds
Summary: Change & motivation: Added an environment variable, RCT_NO_LAUNCH_PACKAGER, that when set Xcode not the launch the packager when building. This switch is needed for CI builds, where launching the packager, which stays running, causes the build to hang; port conflicts can be an issue as well. Really the packager is only appropriate for interactive developer builds. This is a problem for Visual Studio Team Services where we just added React Native CI build support with a React Native build extension and surely a problem for all CI systems. This fix is simple, and now if the build machine sets RCT_NO_LAUNCH_PACKAGER globally or passes it as an arg to xcodebuild, the packager won't launch and all is well. Testing: I tested by building both with & without the environment variable defined, ensuring things work probably in both cases. I also added support to our VSTS build ask to use this and verified it works as expected too, when setting the variable..
