Prevent spurious onBlur/onEndEditing events in <TextInput> elements with placeholder text #2160

Summary:

While working on #2159, I noticed that a single-line <TextInput> with a placeholder causes spurious onBlur and onEndEditing events. For some strange reason, setting placeholderAttributedString on macOS causes the NSTextDelegate to call textDidEndEditing. This PR blocks these events from reaching the JS side.

Test Plan:

Validated in RNTester that onBlur and onEndEditing don't get called unexpectedly when dealing with a <TextInput> with placeholder text.

Since this is touching iOS code too, could we check if the problem reproes on iOS, and whether it can be usptreamed? If not, could we limit to macOS only blocks via ifdefs? I'm not sure we need to do that but it helps a little in merges.

This doesn't repro on iOS because editing attributedPlaceholder, the corresponding property in UIKit, doesn't call into the "end editing" delegate function. Nevertheless, it's not a bad idea to limit the scope of this change to macOS only.
