Switch order of onSelectionChange and onChange events send from native

Summary:
Changelog: [Internal]

UIKit uses either `UITextField` or `UITextView` as its UIKit element for `<TextInput>`. `UITextField` is for single line entry, `UITextView` is for multiline entry.

There is a problem with order of events when user types a character.

In `UITextField` (single line text entry), typing a character first triggers `onChange` event and then `onSelectionChange`. JavaScript depends on this order of events because it uses `mostRecentEventCount` from this even to communicate to native that it is in sync with changes in native.

In `UITextView` (multi line text entry), typing a character first triggers `onSelectionChange` and then `onChange`. As JS depends on the correct order of events, this can cause issues. An example would be a TextInput which changes contents based as a result of `onSelectionChange`. Those changes would be ignored as native will throw them away because JavaScript doesn't have the newest version.
