Summary:
This change introduces an API, `setAccessibilityFocus`, which moves the screen reader's focus to the passed in element. This causes VoiceOver to announce the element and draw a focus rectangle around it.
Similar functionality is already available in RN Android through the `sendAccessibilityEvent` method. Here's an example of what exists today in RN Android:
```
RCTUIManager.sendAccessibilityEvent(
node,
8 /* TYPE_VIEW_FOCUSED */);
```
Called `setAccessibilityFocus` on a couple of elements to verify that focus does indeed move when VoiceOver is enabled. Additionally, my team is using this change in our app.
