Subject: [PATCH] fix(iOS): apply accessibility props to the indicator in
 ActivityIndicator

The accessibility props of ActivityIndicator went to the host view, which
is not an accessibility element, so VoiceOver read the inner
UIActivityIndicatorView with its default label. Return the indicator from
accessibilityElement, as RCTSwitchComponentView does for UISwitch.
