Summary:
Changelog: [Android] [FIXED] - Fix backgroundColor top level prop of TextInput
This diff fixes two issues with the `backgroundColor` top level property of TextInput on Android:
* Now it is possible to set a **string** value for the top-level `backgroundColor` property of TextInput (crashed the app previously):
```
<TextInput backgroundColor="#ffccbb">Hello, React Native</TextInput>
```
* Now it's possible to set an **integer** value for the top-level `backgroundColor` property of TextInput (had no effect previously):
```
<TextInput backgroundColor={0xffccbbff}>Hello, React Native</TextInput>
```
A `customType = "Color"` annotation parameter must be provided for `ReactBaseTextShadowNode.setBackgroundColor(...)` since the color value must be previously processed in JS before sending it over the bridge to the native code. The JS code will parse the color value and return the proper ARGB color integer to the native platforms (https://fburl.com/uqup52tn).
Without providing the custom type for the background color, if a string value is set for the top-level `backgroundColor` property in the JS code, the Android code will crash since it expects an integer value for the color in `ReactBaseTextShadowNode.setBackgroundColor(...)`, but a string will be passed from JS without any conversion and there will be a `ClassCastException` thrown. If an integer value without the alpha component (like `0xffccbb`) is set, the Android native view would get an integer color value with its alpha component set to `0x00`, which means a transparent color.
On a side note: the alpha component of a color must always be set when using an integer value for `backgroundColor` since the JS code, while processing the color type, shifts the rightmost 8 bytes (alpha component) to the leftmost position. If those 8 bytes are not the alpha component, you will get the wrong color in the end. It doesn't seem to be a problem for string values of `backgroundColor` though.

React Native brings React's declarative UI framework to iOS and Android. With React Native, you use native UI controls and have full access to the native platform.
- Declarative. React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Declarative views make your code more predictable and easier to debug.
- Component-Based. Build encapsulated components that manage their own state, then compose them to make complex UIs.
- Developer Velocity. See local changes in seconds. Changes to JavaScript code can be live reloaded without rebuilding the native app.
- Portability. Reuse code across iOS, Android, and other platforms.
React Native is developed and supported by many companies and individual core contributors. Find out more in our ecosystem overview.

📋 Requirements
React Native apps may target iOS 9.0 and Android 4.1 (API 16) or newer. You may use Windows, macOS, or Linux as your development operating system, though building and running iOS apps is limited to macOS. Tools like Expo can be used to work around this.
🎉 Building your first React Native app
Follow the Getting Started guide. The recommended way to install React Native depends on your project. Here you can find short guides for the most common scenarios:
📖 Documentation
The full documentation for React Native can be found on our website.
The React Native documentation discusses components, APIs, and topics that are specific to React Native. For further documentation on the React API that is shared between React Native and React DOM, refer to the React documentation.
The source for the React Native documentation and website is hosted on a separate repo, @facebook/react-native-website.
🚀 Upgrading
Upgrading to new versions of React Native may give you access to more APIs, views, developer tools and other goodies. See the Upgrading Guide for instructions.
React Native releases are discussed in the React Native Community, @react-native-community/react-native-releases.
