Fix blob response parsing for empty body on iOS

Summary:
We currently handle empty body poorly in the iOS blob implementation, this happens because of an early return that cause the blob response to not be processed by the blob module, resulting in an empty string as the body instead of a blob object. We also need to make sure to create an empty blob object when data is nil (empty body) as per the XMLHttpRequest spec. The Android implementation was already handling this properly.

Fixes #18223
