[Android] Style (fontWeight, fontStyle) inheritance on nested Text component breaks

[parveen-bhatia]

Description

On nesting Text component styles like fontWeight and fontStyle are not getting inherited from parent Text component.

Example:1
With below snippet only bold is getting applied

      <View>
        <Text style={{ fontStyle: 'italic' }}>
          <Text style={{ fontWeight: 'bold' }}>I am italic and bold</Text>
        </Text>
      </View>

Example:2
With below snippet only italic is getting applied

      <View>
        <Text style={{ fontWeight: 'bold' }}>
          <Text style={{ fontStyle: 'italic' }}>I am bold and italic</Text>
        </Text>
      </View>

This bug is Android only, it works fine on iOS.
