Description
## Describe the feature
It'd be nice to automatically be able to accommodate a user's preferred light/dark theme preferences.
Perhaps, simplifying the check of `uiMode && UI_MODE_NIGHT_MASK` [on Android](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/res/Configuration.html#uiMode) and `traitCollection.userInterfaceStyle` [on iOS](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiuserinterfacestyle).
These both have `undefined`/`unspecified`, `light`, and `dark`/`night`.
Unfortunately, the [built-in react-native uiMode](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/ReactAndroid/src/main/java/com/facebook/react/modules/systeminfo/AndroidInfoModule.java#L47) doesn't give this information.
## Motivation
With iOS 13 and Android Q making this sort of theming more integrated (and Google and Apple's own apps supporting the ability to switch at the OS level), it'd be nice to automatically detect what theme the user wants.
I'd rather not force a user to fumble through app settings to configure the theme if they've already got an option to specify it at the OS level.
