Inherited props

The component is built on top of the FlatList component, meaning it inherits from FlatList, VirtualizedList, and ScrollView.

You can use almost all props from this three components, but some of them can't be overriden because it would mess with our implementation's logic.

Here are a few useful props regarding carousel's style and "feeling": scrollEnabled (if you want to disable user scrolling while still being able to use Carousel's methods), showsHorizontalScrollIndicator, overScrollMode (android), bounces (ios), decelerationRate (ios), scrollEventThrottle (ios).

And here are some useful ones for performance optimizations and rendering: initialNumToRender, maxToRenderPerBatch, windowSize, updateCellsBatchingPeriod, extraData, removeClippedSubviews (the latter may have bugs, as stated in RN's doc). The first three are already implemented with default parameters, but you can override them if they don't suit your needs.
