react-native-localize 1.1.3 can not work on 0.60.0-rc.2

Bug

E/unknown:ReactNative: Exception in native call java.lang.IllegalStateException: Native module RNLocalize tried to override RNLocalizeModule. Check the getPackages() method in MainApplication.java, it might be that module is being created twice. If this was your intention, set canOverrideExistingModule=true

Hello all! I create a new branch to add hook support, and I use RN 0.60 for the example without any issue: https://github.com/react-native-community/react-native-localize/tree/1.20

Please give it a look to understand how autolinking work.

You don’t need to add

packages.add(new RNLocalizePackage());

or

include ':react-native-localize'
project(':react-native-localize').projectDir = new File(rootProject.projectDir, '../node_modules/react-native-localize/android')

I will update the documentation accordingly.
