The default clipChildren (clipToBounds) behaviour is different on android and iOS

hi, this code shows different result on android and iOS:

export default class TestClip extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <View style={styles.container}>
        <View style={styles.child}/>
      </View>
    );
  }
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    width: 100,
    height: 100,
    backgroundColor: 'red',
  },
  child: {
    position: 'absolute',
    width: 100,
    height: 100,
    top: 50,
    left: 50,
    backgroundColor: 'green',
  },
});

I think this is caused by: on android ViewGroup’s clipChildren is true by default, on iOS UIView’s clipToBounds is NO by default.

Tested adding setClipChildren(true) to the base class ReactViewGroup on android can solve this, but not sure if this can cause performance issue. maybe exporting clipChildren as a property on both platform is better?
