Caleb Meredith 37d692480b Optimize ReactEquivalenceSet (#2243)
Summary:
I generated the following program (now added to test cases) and while I would expect its evaluation in Prepack to terminate reasonably quickly, I did not see the program terminate after five minutes of execution:

https://gist.github.com/calebmer/2bf1d84a5b7849fa732bce69811df10b

After this change that same program’s Prepack evaluation terminates in about two seconds. This change also saves about 2.8s on the evaluation of our internal bundle which is about 3% of the total time.

What was happening? Why did my program fail to terminate execution in five minutes? Why was the internal bundle relatively ok compared to my extreme case?

In my program, I would [expect the component `Mu`](https://gist.github.com/calebmer/2bf1d84a5b7849fa732bce69811df10b#file-program-js-L289-L291) to be inlined about 60 times. Which means there should only be about 60 calls to `ReactElementSet#add` for each of `Mu`’s `div`s. However, after some basic instrumentation I observed way over ten thousand visits to these React elements.

This pair of method calls happens a couple times in `ReactEquivalenceSet` and friends.

5f7256f17e/src/react/ReactEquivalenceSet.js (L233-L234)

Both `getEquivalentPropertyValue`…

5f7256f17e/src/react/ReactEquivalenceSet.js (L255)

…and `getValue`…

5f7256f17e/src/react/ReactEquivalenceSet.js (L104)

…end up calling `ReactElementSet#add` with the same React element. Then `ReactElementSet#add` ends up recursing into children. So the root element is added 2 times, so the root’s children are added 4 times each, so each child of those elements are added 8 times each, and so on. So if a leaf element is `n` deep in the tree it will be added `2^n` times. The most nested `Mu` child was 9 elements deep. `Mu` appeared 60 times at many levels of nesting.

I’m not entirely sure why my generated case was so much worse then our internal bundle. My two best guesses are: lots of repeated components or deeper nesting?

My fix was to move the `getValue` call into `getEquivalentPropertyValue`. This way if `getEquivalentPropertyValue` already finds an equivalent value we can short-circuit and not run `getValue` which will perform the same operation.
