React Native doesn't define __filename nor __dirname so do it artisanally. In
addition, this helps with centralizing the configuration passed to loggers.
Using anything non-serializable for action types is discouraged:

In fact, this is the Flow definition for dispatching actions:
declare export type DispatchAPI<A> = (action: A) => A;
declare export type Dispatch<A: { type: $Subtype<string> }> = DispatchAPI<A>;
Note how the `type` field is defined as a subtype of string, which Symbol isn’t.
