[FEATURE REQUEST] Add onPredictionsChanged to access the predictions returned by Google

[avencat]

Hi! 👋

Firstly, thanks for your work on this project! 🙂

Today I used patch-package to patch react-native-google-places-autocomplete@2.4.1 for the project I'm working on.

I wanted to be able to access to the results of the predictions so I could update my design accordingly.

Here is the diff that solved my problem:

Thanks @avencat I really think this should be added to the library!
