Android: borderStyle: 'dotted' | 'dashed' breaks when backgroundColor has opacity (Expo SDK 54)

[AradSharafi]

Description

When using borderStyle: 'dotted' or borderStyle: 'dashed' on a View, the border renders correctly only if the background color is fully opaque.

If the View has a borderColor with opacity (e.g. rgba(...) or a color with alpha), the border style does not render correctly (or is not applied at all).

This issue happens only on Android and seems to be a regression introduced in Expo SDK 54.
The same code works correctly in Expo SDK 53.
