Summary:Currently React-Native does not have `ontimeout` and `onerror` handlers for [XMLHttpRequest](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XMLHttpRequest). This is an extension to [No timeout on XMLHttpRequest](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/4648).
With addition to two handlers, both Android and iOS can now handle `ontimeout` if request times out and `onerror` when there is general network error.
**Test plan**
Code has been tested on both Android and iOS with [Charles](https://www.charlesproxy.com/) by setting a breakpoint on the request which fires `ontimeout` when the request waits beyond `timeout` time and `onerror` when there is network error.
**Usage**
JavaScript -
```
var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
function onLoad() {
console.log(request.status);
};
function onTimeout() {
console.log('Timeout');
};
function onError() {
console.log('General network error');
};
request.onload = onLoad;
request.ontimeout = onTimeout;
request.onerr

Summary:I updated the Network documentation to not lead users to use Parse, since its service is shutting down.

Using the provided WebSocket example under react-native 0.17, the sample code throws the following error:
"TypeError: ws.on is not a function(…)"
It's listening on ".on" which does not exist, rather than assigning a function to onopen, onmessage, onerror and onclose.

- Mention that Fetch returns a Promise
(makes example with .then clearer to newcomers to ES6/ES7)
- Add example of Fetch usage with second argument
(helps clarify how e.g., a POST request to an API might be constructed)
- Add async/await example
