Missing documentation on View prop 'elevation'

[JReinhold]

Description

Documentation on what styles can be given to a View have been removed in v0.44, and is now replaced with the simple line style?: stylePropType. (I don't know if this is on purpose or not, but it's rather confusing, and not very informative)

As a consequence, documentation on style props mut now be found under Shadow Props and
Layout Props.
None of these pages include documentation on the Android-only elevation prop, that handles shadows on Android.

Reproduction Steps and Sample Code

See 0.43 View style prop vs 0.44 View style prop

Solution

It would be misleading to document the elevation prop on the Shadow Props page, as the props listed there are suppose to go into a StyleSheet, while the elevation is a prop on View. Instead I would recommend documenting the prop on the View documentation.
