Padding on Text results in incorrect bounding box for press events

Comienza con el Expo Snack obligatorio y reproduce el comportamiento de hit testing del padding con la nueva arquitectura en iOS y Android. Después, rastrea el manejo de press de React Native Text y el cálculo de la bounding box para las plataformas afectadas. Se considera terminado cuando los taps en el padding no activan el press, mientras que los taps sobre el texto sí lo siguen activando, con cobertura de regresión para ambas plataformas.

Description

When adding padding to a <Text /> element, onPress event are caught in the padding area on iOS rather than the text itself.

On Android, the text is clickable, but so is the padding area.

This happens with new architecture enabled.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open the provided expo snack
2. Click above the "Click me!" text
3. Alert should come up
4. Click the "Click me!" text
5. This time no alert comes up
