Throw a better error when Lazy/Promise is used in React.Children (fac…

…ebook#28280)

We could in theory actually support this case by throwing a Promise when
it's used inside a render. Allowing it to be synchronously unwrapped.
However, it's a bit sketchy because we officially only support this in
the render's child position or in `use()`.

Another alternative could be to actually pass the Promise/Lazy to the
callback so that you can reason about it and just return it again or
even unwrapping with `use()` - at least for the forEach case maybe.
