[a11y][iOS] Collapsed state ignored by Fabric

[QichenZhu]

Description

On iOS, accessibilityState={{ expanded: true }} works as expected, but accessibilityState={{ expanded: false }} is ignored. That means the collapsed state is not announced by VoiceOver, so users may not know the element can be expanded.

Steps to reproduce

1. Build and run the reproducer on the iOS Simulator.
2. Open Xcode > Open Developer Tool > Accessibility Inspector.
3. Click Select an element to inspect and choose Element 1.
4. Verify Value is expanded.
5. Click Select an element to inspect and choose Element 2.
6. Note Value is None, while it should be collapsed.
