Josh Hargreaves b60a727adb Fix crashes onKeyPress Android
Summary:
There appear to be two different types of crashes related to the recent addition of `onKeyPress` on Android introduce in `0.53`. This PR addresses the cause of both of them.

Firstly, it seems possible to get an `indexOutOfBoundsException` with some 3rd-party keyboards as observed in https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/17974 & https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/17922. I have simplified the backspace determining logic slightly, and also put in an explicit check for zero case so it is not possible to get an indexOutOfBoundsException & it should make sense in the context of the onKeyPress logic.

Secondly, it appears that `EditText#onCreateInputConnection` can return null. In this case, if we set `null` to be the target of our subclass of `ReactEditTextInputConnectionWrapper`, we will see the crashes as seen [here](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/17974#issuecomment-368471737), whereby any of methods executed in the `InputConnection` interface can result in a crash. It's hard to reason about the state when `null` is returned from `onCreateInputConnection`, however I would might reason that any soft keyboard input cannot update the `EditText` with a `null` `input connection`, as there is no way of interfacing with the `EditText`. I'm am not sure, if there is a later point where we might return/set this input connection at a later point? As without the `InputConnection` onKeyPress will not work. But for now, this will fix this crash at least.

I have not managed to reproduce these crashes myself yet, but users have confirmed that the `indexOutOfBounds` exception is fixed with the 'zero' case and has been confirmed on the respective issues https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/17974#issuecomment-368471737.

For the `null` inputConnection target case, I have verified that explicitly setting the target as null in the constructor of `onCreateInputConnection` results in the same stack trace as the one linked. Here is also a [reference](https://github.com/stripe/stripe-android/pull/392/files#diff-6cc1685c98457d07fd4e2dd83f54d5bb) to the same issue closed with the same fix for another project on github.

It is also important to verify that the behavior of `onKeyPress` still functions the same after this change, which can be verified by running the RNTesterProject and the `KeyboardEvents` section in `InputText`.
The cases to check that I think are important to check are:
- Cursor at beginning of input & backspace
- Return key & return key at beginning of input
- Select text then press delete
- Selection then press a key
- Space key
- Different keyboard types

This should not be a breaking change.
