Summary:
This is the first PR from a series of PRs grabbou and me will make to add blob support to React Native. The next PR will include blob support for XMLHttpRequest.
I'd like to get this merged with minimal changes to preserve the attribution. My next PR can contain bigger changes.
Blobs are used to transfer binary data between server and client. Currently React Native lacks a way to deal with binary data. The only thing that comes close is uploading files through a URI.
Current workarounds to transfer binary data includes encoding and decoding them to base64 and and transferring them as string, which is not ideal, since it increases the payload size and the whole payload needs to be sent via the bridge every time changes are made.
The PR adds a way to deal with blobs via a new native module. The blob is constructed on the native side and the data never needs to pass through the bridge. Currently the only way to create a blob is to receive a blob from the server via websocket.
The PR is largely a direct port of https://github.com/silklabs/silk/tree/master/react-native-blobs by philikon into RN (with changes to integrate with RN), and attributed as such.
> **Note:** This is a breaking change for all people running iOS without CocoaPods. You will have to manually add `RCTBlob.xcodeproj` to your `Libraries` and then, add it to Build Phases. Just follow the process of manual linking. We'll also need to document this process in the release notes.

The websocket integration can be tested via a simple server,
```js
const fs = require('fs');
const http = require('http');
const WebSocketServer = require('ws').Server;
const wss = new WebSocketServer({
server: http.createServer().listen(7232),
});
wss.on('connection', (ws) => {
ws.on('message', (d) => {
console.log(d);
});
ws.send(fs.readFileSync('./some-file'));
});
```
Then on the client,
```js
var ws = new WebSocket('ws://localhost:7232');
ws.binaryType = 'blob';
ws.onerror = (error) => {
console.error(error);
};
ws.onmessage = (e) => {
console.log(e.data);
ws.send(e.data);
};
```

Summary:
Adding a Babel plugin that will analyze the file looking for any potential candidate to use `regenerator-runtime`, and if so, will inject dynamically the module. The module is injected per file, so we avoid polluting the global environment. The plugin is also able to inject the `require` call beforehand, so that the inliner can pick them and inline them.
The Babel plugin is part of `react-native-babel-preset`, so as long as you are using this preset you are safe. If not, you should include the specific transformer into your list of plugins, as `react-native-babel-preset/transforms/transform-regenerator-runtime-insertion.js`.

need to remove function declaration in a lexically nested statement

Summary:
When running in strict mode we run into the following error:
“Cannot assign to read only property 'product' of object '#<WorkerNavigator>’”
Moreover navigator.product = ‘ReactNative’; didn’t actually change the product value. Without strict mode this was silently ignored.
By using our defineProperty function we are able to run in strict mode and now navigator.product is really ReactNative.
See https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/10881 for more information
---------------
Long story short - if we run in strict mode, the current code throws an error :
`Cannot assign to read only property 'product' of object '#<WorkerNavigator>' initializeCore.js`
(the current version of initializeCore.js doesn't have 'use strict'; on top, but if you are unfortunate enough to have a babel module that ads this for you, you are guaranteed to run into this. Moreover our contributing guidelines say that we should have 'use strict'; https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/CONTRIB

Summary: Adds methods in XMLHttpRequest so that the agent can hook the events needed for the implementation, these are only enabled if the agent is enabled (which means that the inspector is connected), it is also stripped out in non-dev currently.
