Vojtech Novak 04564a0322 allow overriding spannedFromShadowNode in ReactTextInputShadowNode (#24995)
Summary:
Motivation is the same as in https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/24927 - when building a custom textinput (eg with rich text editing), one needs custom text processing logic. `ReactTextInputShadowNode` contains https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/6671165f69e37a49af8b709b4807f9049f7606c3/ReactAndroid/src/main/java/com/facebook/react/views/textinput/ReactTextInputShadowNode.java#L211

where an instance of `ReactTextUpdate` is created. For the custom use case, we'd like to just change the usage of [`spannedFromShadowNode()`](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/6671165f69e37a49af8b709b4807f9049f7606c3/ReactAndroid/src/main/java/com/facebook/react/views/textinput/ReactTextInputShadowNode.java#L217) to our own implementation.

from there:
It's easy to subclass `ReactTextInputShadowNode` and override `public void onCollectExtraUpdates()` but the problem is that the method accesses private members. It also means overriding more code than necessary as we only care for `spannedFromShadowNode()`.

Solution might be changing the members to protected, but that seemed weird because there are already setters for them. Creating getters also seemed weird, as we'd end up having unused getters hanging around.

So the second way which I find nicer is changing `protected static Spannable spannedFromShadowNode(ReactBaseTextShadowNode textShadowNode, String text)` to just `protected` since that will allow subclasses to override just this behavior.
