Minimize EditText Spans 2/9: Make stripAttributeEquivalentSpans generic (#36546)

Summary:
Pull Request resolved: #36546

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]( #35936 (comment)) for greater context on the platform behavior.

This change generalizes `stripAttributeEquivalentSpans()` to allow plugging in different spans.
