Set collapse property before starting an animation that uses the nati…

…ve driver

Depending on the style props of an Animated.View it may be optimised away
by the NativeViewHierarchyOptimizer, which will make the animation to
fail, because the native view is virtual (it does not exists
in the native view hierarchy).
Although the createAnimatedComponent already sets the collapsable property
based on the this._propsAnimated.__isNative flag, it won't work on all
cases, since the __isNative flag is only set when one starts the animation.
Which won't cause a re-render to occuor, thus not setting the collapsable
property to false.
In order to prevent this issue the AnimatedProps object will
directly set the collapsable property to false before starting an animation.
