Experiment with custom controls in react-native-mapbox-gl/maps

/*
Gist to demonstrate an issue I had with @react-native-mapbox-gl/maps.
I'm trying to display a button over a map and allow the user to click it without
the event bubbling up to the map. However, calls to stopPropagation and preventDefault
don't seem to prevent the propagation. The red button demonstrates this.
I've managed to work around the problem by placing the button outside the MapView element
and positioning it absolutely over the top. The blue button demonstrates the workaround.
