Fix Chat Input Crashes on Android

The input was crashing when you sent messages that had modified the
native selection props. It crashed when you cleared the text because it
would set the text to empty, and reused a cached selection that was out
of bounds of an empty string.

hello @foo
@spacedrop
For example, say you type "hello @" and autocomplete to "hello @foo". We
do some text selection magic to insert the @foo and put your cursor in
the correct spot. The Selection start and end indicies are both 11. When
you submit to message, we clear the text. When we clear the text, RN
keeps reusing those selection indices (of 11) and Android complains the
selection is outside of the bounds of the text ("" has a length of 0,
but you want to move the cursor to position 11, outside the bounds of
0).

The workaround here is to set the selection at the same time as the
text.
