Use deprecated-react-native-prop-types

What does this PR do?

RN 0.68 has deprecated and will eventually remove ViewPropTypes (see post). This adds the deprecated-react-native-prop-types package and uses that instead.

What testing has been done on this change?

Local testing, to ensure the deprecation warning has been removed.

I ended up "resolving" the issue by applying the following patch that you can use the patch-package for. The good thing is since it's a React native patch it will work for any library with this issue not just this one:
