[Android/A11y] Accessibility focus issues

[deniz-blue]

Before submitting a new issue

• I tested using the latest version of the library.
• I tested using a supported version of React Native.
• I checked for existing issues that might answer my question.

Bug Summary

• When a sheet is presented, the focus does not move to the sheet handle. It's possible to focus/navigate on the background elements.
• After focus is inside the sheet, it is also possible to move accessibility focus back towards the background screen content.
• Sheet handle announces "Sheet wrapper slider", should probably be labelled as "Sheet handle" instead.
• The sheet handle shows up after sheet content in accessibility tree for some reason. Is this intended?

Affected Platforms

• iOS
• Android
• Web
• Other
