Summary:
An HTTP request may be redirected to another URL, sometimes we need to know the URL where the response comes from.
If the server is in control, we can add an HTTP header X-Request-URL for the redirect URL. However there will be cases that 3rd party services are used.
This PR retrieves the response URL from native networking module and passes to it XMLHttpRequest. The fetch API built on XMLHttpRequest also benefits from this feature.

Summary: @public
RCTNetworking currently relies on network responses to include an accurate text encoding, otherwise it is unable to convert the response data to text unless it's encoded as UTF8.
See: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/1780#issuecomment-139334294 for details.
This diff makes use of a new feature in iOS8 to detect the encoding of the text authomatically
