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

Comienza con la aplicación obligatoria de reproducción y ejecútala con yarn android y yarn ios. Compara capturas de pantalla con escalas de fuente normales y aumentadas usando los comandos de configuración del issue; se considera terminado cuando lineHeight de Android está limitado por maxFontSizeMultiplier de forma coherente con iOS.
