react-native-gesture-handler for interactive components (buttons) in React Native

[pronevich]

It's always great to have React Native components closest to native.

I'm not understanding, this seems like outside the scope? How would it help button?

Currently, touchables in tamagui will be created as View and rely on JS responder system utilized by RN. Which on JS side has some lag in responsiveness. With react-native-gesture-handler Touchables/Buttons components touch handled on the native UI thread.

Maybe @kmagiera or @jakub-gonet can supplement my thoughts.

I've made changes here a bunch of times, it's very delicate to work well with everything so leaving as is for now.
