[Android] textAlignVertical doesn't work on nested text

This issue has already been reported (#18790), but closed for "stalling". As of React Native 0.63.3, the bug still exists.

Description

textAlignVertical works fine when set on the top-most Text component. However, if you have any nested texts (a common use case), you can not override the alignVertical in the child Text component.

Steps To Reproduce

Create an app which renders the following component:

export default function App() {
  return (
      <Text>
        <Text>This is text</Text>
        <Text style={{textAlignVertical: 'top', fontSize: 10}}>sup!</Text>
      </Text>
  );
}

Expected Results

The "sup!" Text node should be aligned to the top edge of the line. Instead, "sup!" is aligned with the baseline:

Web (expected)

Android

Snack, code example, screenshot, or link to a repository:

Comience ejecutando el ejemplo de Snack proporcionado o el componente de los pasos de reproducción en React Native 0.63.3 y compare Android con el comportamiento esperado en la web. Rastree el comportamiento de alineación de Text anidado en Android y, después, verifique que el nodo hijo “sup!” se alinee con el borde superior de la línea sin alterar la alineación de Text del nivel superior.
