Code Refactoring

BREAKING CHANGES

• The lazy prop now can be configured per screen instead of for the whole navigator. To keep previous behavior, you can specify it in screenOptions
• This commit moves options from tabBarOptions to regular options in order to reduce confusion between the two, as well as to make it more flexible to configure the tab bar based on a per screen basis.
• We now require newer versions of safe area context library.
• We need to add support for specifying style for tab bar in options to support the use cases which need this.
