`accessibilityElementsHidden` does not hide elements if nested under `accessible`

[MrGVSV]

Description

Take the following code:

<View accessible>
  <Text accessible={false}>Hello</Text>
  <Text>World</Text>
</View>

Both iOS and Android screen readers read out "Hello World" due to the outer View specifying that it is accessible.

However, if we do this:

<View accessible>
  <Text 
    accessible={false} 
    accessibilityElementsHidden 
    importantForAccessibility="no-hide-descendants"
  >
    Hello
  </Text>
  <Text>World</Text>
</View>

Then Android reads out "World", while iOS still reads out "Hello World". This seems like a possible bug as the property accessibilityElementsHidden is supposed to be "similar to the Android property importantForAccessibility="no-hide-descendants"."
