Minimize EditText Spans 6/N: letterSpacing (facebook#36548)

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: facebook#36548

This is part of a series of changes to minimize the number of spans committed to EditText, as a mitigation for platform issues on Samsung devices. See this [GitHub thread]( facebook#35936 (comment)) for greater context on the platform behavior.

This change lets us set `letterSpacing` on the EditText instead of using our custom span.
