Description
The initial render of my flashlist when setting startRenderingFromBottom to true is quite glitchy. It shifts around the items inside it through like 3 or 4 frames after which it finally settles into its proper state. It looks awful. If I turn off startRenderingFromBottom it works perfectly. This only happens on Android.

Research direction
Reproduce the initial render on Android with FlashList and startRenderingFromBottom set to true, then compare it with the setting disabled. Trace the rendering behavior that produces the three or four shifting frames; done means the list settles immediately without the glitch or slowdown.
