For it to work note that you must be running on Android 5.0+, and add `elevation` to a view with a `backgroundColor` set. These are platform limitations.
This PR is not intended to be merged in its current state, but rather to inform the discussion from #2768. At a minimum, before merging we would need to add the elevation style to the docs and rebase this to master (**EDIT** I have now rebased on master because from v0.14.2 too many commits were being pulled in -- haven't tested it since the rebase though). Additionally, it might be good to add tests, although I couldn't find any for the Android code. I'm happy to get that done if this feature gets signed off by the React Native team.

This is an early release and there are several things that are known
not to work if you're porting your iOS app to Android.
See the Known Issues guide on the website.
We will work with the community to reach platform parity with iOS.
