iOS: Multiline TextInput onKeyPress event handler unexpectedly receives a Backspace event

Description

The TextInput onKeyPress event handler receives an unexpected Backspace event when multiline is true. The exact behavior varies between iOS 15 and iOS 16:

• iOS 15: The Backspace event is received after value is reset to an empty string
• iOS 16: The Backspace event is received on EVERY change AND when value is reset to an empty string

This has been tested on iOS 15.5, 16.4, and 16.5.

Steps to reproduce

2. Type into the input
3. Observe that an event with nativeEvent.key set to 'Backspace' is received after every onKeyPress event is received for the typed key

Beginne mit der verknüpften RN071TextInputBackspace-Reproduktion und untersuche den TextInput onKeyPress-Ereignispfad unter iOS, wobei du das Verhalten bei mehrzeiligem Text unter iOS 15 und 16 vergleichst. Als abgeschlossen gilt die Aufgabe, wenn das Eingeben und Zurücksetzen des Werts keine unbeabsichtigten Backspace-Ereignisse mehr erzeugt, während echte Tastaturereignisse erhalten bleiben.
