…alignment issue on some fonts (#27195)

Summary:
Fixes #27137

This PR fixes an issue on iOS where RCTTextView height is not calculated as it should for some fonts where font `leading` attributed is not equal to zero, which results in wrong baseline alignment behaviour.

The fix for this is by setting `usesFontLeading` property of `NSLayoutManager` to `NO`, which results is a layout behavior that is similar to `UILabel`

Probably the documentation for `usesFontLeading` describes why UILabel has a different (correct) layout behavior in that case
> // By default, a layout manager will use leading as specified by the font.  However, this is not appropriate for most UI text, for which a fixed leading is usually specified by UI layout guidelines.  These methods allow the use of the font's leading to be turned off.

## Changelog

[iOS] [Fixed] - Fix RCTTextView layout issue that happens on some font with `leading` attribute not equal to zero, which causes wrong base-alignment layout
Pull Request resolved: #27195

Test Plan:
Below are the test results before and after the change, and comparing that to native UILabel behavior.

The test is done with using system font and custom font (`GothamNarrow-Medium`) and font size 50

[GothamNarrow-Medium.otf.zip](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/files/3832143/GothamNarrow-Medium.otf.zip)

```js
const App: () => React$Node = () => {
  return (
    <View style={{flex: 1, margin: 40, flexDirection: 'row', justifyContent: 'center', alignItems: 'baseline'}}>
      <View style={{width: 30, height: 30, backgroundColor: 'lightgray'}} />
      <Text style={{fontSize: 50, backgroundColor: 'green', fontFamily: 'GothamNarrow-Medium'}}>{'Settings'}</Text>
    </View>
  );
};
```
