Summary:
Right now nested Text components are not accessible on Android. This is because we only create a native ReactTextView for the parent component; the styling and touch handling for the child component are handled using spans. In order for TalkBack to announce the link, we need to linkify the text using a ClickableSpan.
This diff adds ReactClickableSpan, which TextLayoutManager uses to linkify a span of text when its corresponding React component has `accessibilityRole="link"`. For example:
<Text>
A paragraph with some
<Text accessible={true} accessibilityRole="link" onPress={onPress} onClick={onClick}>links</Text>
surrounded by other text.
</Text>
With this diff, the child Text component will be announced by TalkBack ('links available') and exposed as an option in the context menu. Clicking on the link in the context menu fires the Text component's onClick, which we're explicitly forwarding to onPress in Text.js (for now - ideally this would probably use a separate event, but that would involve wiring it up in the renderer as well).
ReactClickableSpan also applies text color from React if it exists; this is to override the default Android link styling (teal + underline).
