maxFontSizeMultiplier works differently between iOS and Android

Description

• maxFontSizeMultiplier affects the fontSize on both Android and iOS.
• When font scaling is set to a value higher than maxFontSizeMultiplier, both Android and iOS clamp the fontSize value
• When it comes to lineHeight, it acts differently. iOS clamps the value while Android ignores the maxFontSizeMultiplier for lineHeight

Please see the screenshots for a side-by-side comparison

Steps to reproduce

1. Install he reproducer app with yarn android and yarn ios
2. Take a screenshot of the app so you can compare later
3. Increase the font scaling. You can either use the settings app, or cmd option + on iOS simulator, and adb shell settings put system font_scale <value> on Android
4. Take another screenshot and compare those two

Notice how lineHeight is not clamped on Android screenshots

Start with the mandatory reproducer app and run it with yarn android and yarn ios. Compare screenshots at normal and increased font scales using the issue's settings commands; done means Android lineHeight is clamped by maxFontSizeMultiplier consistently with iOS.
