Description
### Current behaviour
The Badge component attemtps to account for font-scaling in badge text by adjusting line-height. This works (at least at font-scales <= 1.5, the max we allow on our app) on Android well, but not at all on iOS.
### Expected behaviour
Ideally the badge number would be visible on both Android and iOS.
### How to reproduce?
```tsx
{notificationsUnread.length}
```
Then, on iOS, under Accessibility -> Allow Large Fonts -> Font Scale, set it to large (>= 1.5).
### Preview
Android:

iOS:
### What have you tried so far?
Tried adjusting `fontSize`, `height`, `width`, etc. by `fontScale`, which is already available in the component, which did not help; tried adjusting the line height (removing the `/ font scale`), which got closer; tried passing a `` child with `allowFontScaling={false}`, which, again, got closer.
