How to set an ID in react-native-web

(in hindsight obvious, while trying not so)
So a few months ago, I wanted to set an `id` on a react-native-web (RNW) View
component <View id="newsletter"/>
But that doesnt work.
Turns out in order to maintain compatibility with ReactNative, RNW uses `nativeID` This is in the docs, but I somehow missed it, until i found this issue https://github.com/necolas/react-native-web/issues/1116
So to set an ID on a view in react native web, which will be mapped to the elements dom node do this
<View nativeID="some-id" />
docs referencing this are here
