On Android, the onKeyPress callback returns the wrong key value when the TextInput has the maxLength property

[javiercsd]

Description

In Android, when a TextInput with the maxLength property is "full"(that is, the length of the input is equal to the maximum), the onKeyPress event will return the last character in the input.

React Native version:

0.63.3

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create a TextInput component with maxLength=1, and an onKeyPress handler
2. Type multiple different characters into the TextInput
3. Observe that event.nativeEvent.key in the onKeyPress callback is always the first character that was entered into the TextInput

Expected Results

onKeyPress should return the key that was actually pressed.

This behaviour only happens in Android, and can be seen in the following snack: https://snack.expo.io/PuyXgucEf
