Open a context menu programmatically

[matheusmichels]

Hey @dominicstop! I'm really enjoying this library, thanks so much for your work on it! I think one great thing to add would be the ability to open a context menu programmatically/imperatively. The API could be something like this:

const event = await UIContextMenu.open(exampleNodeId, menuConfig)

Or

UIContextMenu.open(exampleNodeId, menuConfig, event => {
   // Handle menu item press event
})

What do you think? 😎

I think a better API would be:

const ref = useRef()

const onPress = () => ref.current?.open()

return <ContextMenuView ref={ref} />

Much needed

iOS does not allow this for context menus, so I think it's worth closing.
