Fixing resetting image tintColor on Android

[mganandraj]

On Android, trying to reset the 'tintColor' prop of an Image (by removing the prop from the component) is not removing the color filter from the native view, but tries to set the filter value to artibitrary default value. In our feature (just upgraded to RN 0.63), it results in the image going invisible as the view manager tries to set the color filter to the default value of '0'.

Attaching a snippet below with the repro.

The image view manager assumes that the react JS sents the prop updates with value set to 'null' when the intention is to remove the attribute. This PR by @tom-un introduced a change in behavior to send a default value when the prop value from JS is set to null. The change affects a couple of other properties too.

This change introduces a new PropSetter which allows null values and associates it with props which expects null values.

.........................................

class MyTouchable extends React.Component {
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.state = {imageStyle: [{tintColor: '#D2D2D2'}]};
}

_onPressButton() {
this.setState({imageStyle: [undefined]});
}

render() {
return (


<Image
source={require('../../assets/uie_thumb_normal.png')}
style={this.state.imageStyle}
/>


);
}
}

Test Plan

Fixing a regression. Not a new behaviour or API. Verified that the behaviour of the Image component is identical to RN62.
