Describe the bug

getByRole(role, {name}) doesn't work when the target node doesn't have components as a child.

test('returns an element when the direct child is text', () => {
    const { getByRole } = render(
      <Text accessibilityRole="header" testID="target-header">
        About
      </Text>
    );

    // assert on the testId to be sure that the returned element is the one with the accessibilityRole
    expect(getByRole('header', { name: 'About' }).props.testID).toBe(
      'target-header'
    );
  });

Issue open for better tracking, see #1139 for discussions.
