Description

In https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/accessibility, accessibilityActions can be any string, but in reality, it only supports 'magicTap' and several others.

We should make it to support below actions which I implemented #2765: invoke, addToSelection, removeFromSelection, select, toggle, expand and collapse
