PlatformPayButton is transparent on Android until its pressed

[keveightysev]

Describe the bug
When I use the PlatformPayButton component inside a Modal, on Android the button does not appear (even though it is still pressable). Once the button is pressed, the button appears as normal. The button works as expected on iOS

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Render a PlatformPayButton component inside of a Modal component
2. Observe PlatformPayButton does not appear
3. Press area where button belongs
4. Observe PlatformPayButton text and background appear

Expected behavior
PlatformPayButton should appear when the component is rendered without requiring interaction.

@keveightysev After investigating this it seems like the issue is that the Google Pay button on Android should not be shown if Google Pay isn't set up, which seems like it is the case in your emulator. This is this step in the official documentation https://developers.google.com/pay/api/android/guides/tutorial#isreadytopay.

Now the issue is the stripe react native sdk does not currently implement a method to check this, we will look into adding it.
