Enable privacy snapshot for React Native

In the App Programming Guide for iOS, Apple says:

When an app transitions to the background, the system takes a snapshot of the app’s main window, which it then presents briefly when transitioning your app back to the foreground. Before returning from your applicationDidEnterBackground: method, you should hide or obscure passwords and other sensitive personal information that might be captured as part of the snapshot.

This react-native module obscure passwords and other sensitive personal information when an app transitions to the background.
