Undo/redo doesn't work in TextInput on iOS

[amgleitman]

Description

In an iOS simulator, if you make multiple changes to a TextInput's value, you can only undo once. After that, subsequent attempts at undoing or redoing (via Cmd-Z or Shift-Cmd-Z) fail.

By contrast, if you perform the repro steps in a TextInput within a react-native-macos app, undo/redo seems to work just fine.

Steps to reproduce

In a new React Native app, add the following anywhere:

<TextInput placeholder="Placeholder" />

Alternatively, you can use the search bar in RNTester.

Open the app in an iOS simulator and do the following:

1. Insert text into the text input.
2. Move the cursor to another point, and insert some more text. Repeat several times.
3. Press Cmd-Z once.
4. Press Cmd-Z again.
5. Press Shift-Cmd-Z.

Expected: Steps 4 and 5 will continue to undo/redo.

Actual: Steps 4 and 5 do nothing.
