Summary:
We ran into a problem trying to style the optional prop `ListHeaderComponent` in the `FlatList` library component. Essentially we wanted to make `ListHeaderComponent` a flex item that filled all of the empty space in the list if there was any. Unfortunately the `ListHeaderComponent` is later wrapped in a `View` that blocked our styling. The `View` component was necessary as it added styling to handle inverting the `FlatList`. Similarly `ListFooterComponent` was handled the same way.
We came up the simple solution of adding two new optional props, `ListHeaderComponentStyle` and `ListFooterComponentStyle`, that are of type `ViewStyleProp` that allow users to pass in styling for `ListHeaderComponent` and `ListFooterComponent`.
With this change we were able to do something like the following to get the header component to fill all empty space in the `FlatList`.
```
<FlatList
...
contentContainerStyle={{flexGrow: 1}}
ListHeaderComponent={<View style={{flex: 1}} />}
ListHeaderComponentStyle={{flexGrow: 1}}
...
/>
```
This solution will give users a lot more freedom when working with headers and footers.
