Summary:
This exposes iOS's spellCheckingType functionality to JavaScript. The native functionality is a three state enum. It gets exposed to JavaScript as a boolean. The initial value and JS null map to the third state.
An alternative design for this API would have been to expose a three state enum to JavaScript:
- "on" which maps to UITextSpellCheckingTypeYes
- "off" which maps to UITextSpellCheckingTypeNo
- "auto" (default) which maps to UITextSpellCheckingTypeDefault
For consistency, I decided to use the same API design as spellCheck. We don't have many options for fixing spellCheck in #11055 without introducing a breaking change.
**Test plan (required)**
Verified that switching `spellCheck` between `true`, `false`, and `null` all work correctly in single line and multiline `TextInputs`.

Summary:
There's an inconsistency in autoCorrect's default state:
- If you don't specify a value for autoCorrect, it defaults to on.
- If you specify true/false for autoCorrect and later specify null, autoCorrect turns off. It should have reverted to its initial state of on.
The reason for this discrepancy is that autoCorrect is exposed to JS as a boolean but it is actually an enum with three states in native:
- UITextAutocorrectionTypeDefault (the default value)
- UITextAutocorrectionTypeYes
- UITextAutocorrectionTypeNo
This is fixed by explicitly mapping JS null to UITextAutocorrectionTypeDefault.
**Test plan (required)**
Verified that switching `autoCorrect` between `true`, `false`, and `null` all work correctly in single line and multiline `TextInputs`.
