Pressables don't prevent touches being forwarded to OS

Description

React Native pressables don't seem to prevent the touches from being forwarded to the OS. This results in unexpected behavior in some situations.

e.g. on iPadOS, there is a large area at the top of the screen that can be tapped to scroll to the top. This area usually covers a similar height to the header bar. If headers have buttons that use pressables, the pressable handles the action, but iPadOS also handles the touch and scrolls any scrollview in the screen to the top.

This does not happen when using a native control (e.g., with UIControl), and only happens with React Native's Pressable. It is very common to add custom buttons to the header (even when using native stack and native header), many people also use custom headers. So the unexpected scroll to top results in a bad UX.

I'm not aware of a way to prevent this behavior right now.

Steps to reproduce

1. Install the app on iPad simulator with yarn ios
2. Scroll the scrollview so it's not at the top
3. Click on the button in the header
4. Observe that the button also scrolls the scrollview to the top

Start with the mandatory reproducer at https://github.com/satya164/iPadTouchableRepro and reproduce the iPadOS behavior described in the issue, then trace Pressable's iOS touch handling. No source file or test is named; done means activating a Pressable no longer also triggers iPadOS scroll-to-top behavior while native controls remain unaffected.
