a11y(iOS): nested `<Text role="link" />` not focusable on iOS

Description

<Text role="link" /> element nested in <Text /> is not focusable by screen reader on iOS.

Example code

<Text style={styles.text}>
  Regular Text
  <Text role="link" onPress={handlePress}>Link Text</Text>
</Text>

On iOS it focuses only the top-level Text element, there is no focus on child text element with link role.

on Android it focuses first on top-level Text element (announcing: "contains links"), then focuses on child text element with link role.

This is especially hard to solve, if I would want to have 2+ links inside the text.

Steps to reproduce

1. Clone https://github.com/mdjastrzebski/ReproLinkText
2. Run under screen reader on iOS (& Android for comparison)

Start with the mandatory ReproLinkText reproducer and run it under VoiceOver on iOS, comparing its nested Text behavior with Android. Trace the React Native Text accessibility entry point involved in nested role="link" elements; done means the child link receives focus on iOS, including multiple links, while the existing Android behavior remains intact.
