Subject: [PATCH] Add TextInput example in ScrollViewExample (#58756)

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/react/react-native/pull/58756

Add a new RNTester example in ScrollViewExample for using the component with TextInputs. This reproduces the issue where TextInputs on Android absorb scroll gestures when textAlign is set to "center" or "right". For TextInputs inside a ScrollView, starting a scroll gesture on the TextInput would not scroll the ScrollView. As this is a common use case, the example acts as a reference to show intended behavior and prevent future regressions.
