- Keyboard layout now updates when changing keyboardType while it has…

… focus (#19027)

Summary:
This PR makes sure that changing the `keyboardType` props of `<TextInput>` is reflected while the text field has focus. It is something that is also discusses in #13782. The workaround mentioned in that issue using `key` causes the TextInput to re-render itself which has some undesired side-effects.

Fixes #13782

```javascript
export default class KeyboardTypeApp extends Component {
  state = { keyboardType: 'default' };

  toggleKeyboardType = () => {
    this.setState({
      keyboardType: this.state.keyboardType === 'default' ? 'numeric' : 'default'
    });
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <View style={{ padding: 40 }}>
        <TextInput autoFocus value="Press Toggle :)" keyboardType={this.state.keyboardType} />
        <Button title="Toggle" onPress={this.toggleKeyboardType} />
      </View>
    );
  }
}
```
