adding importantForAccessibility for Text, Button, ImageBackground (#34245)

Summary:
Previously published by [grgr-dkrk][2] as [https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/31296][3], fixes the following issues:

1) ImportantForAccessibility="no" does not work on Text, Button
2) ImportantForAccessibility="no-hide-descendants" does not work on Text, Button, or ImageBackground.

Note: On ImageBackground, focus is prevented on the imageBackground node itself, but focus is not prevented on its descendants.

Note: [Button component expected behavior for prop importantForAccessibility][4]
>Some components like Button seem like atomic units, but they end up rendering a hierarchy of components for example a wrapper View with a Text inside them. Allowing those descendants to become focusable, breaks the model of these being a single component to consider and forcing no-hide-descendants makes sense here.

>The other option is always to render any descendants of these elements with importantForAccessibility="no", so they can never be focusable on their own. This would have the same result, **BUT may potentially cause issues when the descendant content is supposed to automatically get moved up to the focusable ancestor to act as a label** (which is what Talkback does with unfocusable text elements by default).

Note: [importantForAccessibility="no" does not allow screenreader focus on nested Text Components with accessibilityRole="link" or inline Images][5]
