Android: Allow WebView to handle about:blank

Summary:
On some devices, we saw many Chrome windows open when the WebView attempted to send the user to about:blank. This change allows the WebView to handle about:blank which prevents the Chrome windows from opening and gives the user a better experience.

Verified that the WebView no longer opens the device's browser when navigating to about:blank. My team has been using this change in our app.
