Gesture Handlers stop responding when swapped.

Thanks @rozele for reporting. Will look into this soon

So the issue was that we werend handling GH lifecycle propertly as it was bound to the underlying native view. When you swap out one of the handlers then the top one stays the same and the underlying view gets recreated. This should result in handler sticking around but just updating its target view. But instead we were dropping all the handlers when the view got unmounted.

To fix this I had to change the bridge API by adding attachGestureHandler as well as changing the contract of createGestureHandler or updateGestureHandler methods which now no longer take viewID as an argument. Also dropGestureHandler method replaced dropGestureHandlersForView to allow for deleting handlers selectively.

Changes are not yet merged and you can play with them here: https://github.com/kmagiera/react-native-gesture-handler/tree/bridge_api_change

Thanks again for your feedback @rozele
