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:
In iOS11, Apple added a new layout feature called "Safe Areas" (this blog post talks a bit about it: https://www.bignerdranch.com/blog/wwdc-2017-large-titles-and-safe-area-layout-guides/).
UIScrollView is one component that is affected by this change in Apple's API. When the `contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior` is set to `automatic`, for example, it will adjust the insets (and override any manually set insets) automatically based on whether or not there's a UINavigationBar, a UITabBar, a visible status bar, etc on the screen. Frustratingly, Apple decided to default to `Automatic` for this behavior, which will cause any apps that set contentInset/contentContainerStyle padding to have their values offset by, at the very least, the size of the status bar, when they compile their app for iOS 11. Here's more information about this behavior: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/uikit/uiscrollview/2902261-contentinsetadjustmentbehavior?language=objc
Mostly, this is a really straightforward change -- it simply adds a new iOS-only prop to ScrollView that allows setting `contentInsetAdjustmentBehavior`. But I did decide to default the behavior to `never`, so that it mimics the behavior we've seen in iOS < 11. I think it's good to keep something as crucial as scrollview content insets non-magical, and also keep it behaving similarly between platforms.

Summary:
This change intends to fix 2 issues with the NetInfo API:
- The NetInfo API is currently platform-specific. It returns completely different values on iOS and Android.
- The NetInfo API currently doesn't expose a way to determine whether the connection is 2g, 3g, or 4g.
The NetInfo API currently just exposes a string-based enum representing the connectivity type. The string values are different between iOS and Andorid. Because of this design, it's not obvious how to achieve the goals of this change without making a breaking change. Consequently, this change deprecates the old NetInfo APIs and introduces new ones. Specifically, these are the API changes:
- The `fetch` method is deprecated in favor of `getConnection`
- The `change` event is deprecated in favor of the `connectionchange` event.
- `getConnection`/`connectionchange` use a new set of enum values compared to `fetch`/`change`. See the documentation for the new values.
- On iOS, `cell` is now known as `cellular`. It's worth pointing out this one in particular because the old and new names are so similar. The rest of the iOS values have remained the same.
- Some of the Android enum values have been removed without a replacement (e.g. `DUMMY`, `MOBILE_DUN`, `MOBILE_HIPRI`, `MOBILE_MMS`, `MOBILE_SUPL`, `VPN`). If desirable, we could find a way to expose these in the new API. For example, we could have a `platformValue` key that exposes the platform's enum values directly (like the old `fetch` API did).
`getConnection` and `connectionchange` each expose an object which has 2 keys conveying a `ConnectionType` (e.g. wifi, cellular) and an `EffectiveConnectionType` (e.g. 2g, 3g). These enums and their values are taken directly from the W3C's Network Information API spec (https://wicg.github.io/netinfo/). Copying the W3C's API will make it easy to expose a `navigation.connection` polyfill, if we want, in the future. Additionally, because the new APIs expose an object instead of a string, it's easier to extend the APIs in the future by adding keys to the object without causing a breaking change.
Note that the W3C's spec doesn't have an "unknown" value for `EffectiveConnectionType`. I chose to introduce this non-standard value because it's possible for the current implementation to not have an `effectiveConnectionType` and I figured it was worth representing this possibility explicitly with "unknown" instead of implicitly with `null`.
**Test Plan (required)**
Verified that the methods (`fetch` and `getConnection`) and the events (`change` and `connectionchange`) return the correct data on iOS and Android when connected to a wifi network and a 4G cellular network. Verified that switching networks causes the event to fire with the correct information. Verified that the old APIs (`fetch' and 'change') emit a deprecation warning when used. My team is using a similar patch in our app.

Summary:
Platforms that plug in to react-native may require additional props that are specific to those platforms. For example, already in react-native there are props that are specific to Android (`accessibilityComponentType`, `needsOffscreenAlphaCompositing`, etc.), props that are specific to iOS (`accessibilityTraits`, `shouldRasterizeIOS`, etc.) and props that are specific to tvOS (`isTVSelectable`, `tvParallaxProperties`, etc.).
I need to add properties to `react-native-windows`, and I'd prefer not to override the entire `ViewPropTypes` file as it is a risk that things in react-native-windows fall out of sync with react-native.

Summary:
Fixes#11209
Updating action items in a `ToolbarAndroid`, or more specifically the native `ReactToolbar`, after the initial render presently will not always work as expected - typically manifesting itself as new action items not being displayed at all (under certain circumstances).
This seems to be happening because Fresco gets back to us asynchronously and updates the `MenuItem` in a listener. However when a keyboard is displayed the `Toolbar` is in a weird state where updating the `MenuItem` doesn't automatically trigger a layout.
The solution is to trigger one manually.
This is a bit wacky, so I created a sample project:
https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/DynamicToolbar
`master` demonstrates the problem. Run the project, the toolbar action item is scheduled to update every 2 seconds. It works fine _until_ you give the `TextInput` focus. Once you give it focus the action item disappears and it never recovers (despite on-going renders due to state changes).
You can then checkout the `fixed` branch, run `yarn` again, and see that problem is fixed. This branch is using a prebuilt version of React Native with this patch applied. Of course you could (and probably should) also modify `master` to use a version of RN built by the Facebook CI (assuming that's a thing you guys do).

Summary:
In the yet-to-be-released iOS 11, Apple has changed the way they notify the user of location services. (You can watch their session from WWDC about all the changes [here](https://developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2017/713/).)
The current implementation of `RCTLocationObserver` uses the standard location services from Apple. When the user has granted `Always` location permission and the application uses the background location service, the user is presented with the *_Blue Bar of Shame_* (for more information check out [this blog post](https://blog.set.gl/ios-11-location-permissions-and-avoiding-the-blue-bar-of-shame-1cee6cd93bbe)):
* Added `useSignificantChanges` boolean to the options passed.
* Added `_usingSignificantChanges` boolean based on user options. If `true`, then the CLLocationManager will use functions `startMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges`/ `stopMonitoringSignificantLocationChanges` rather than the standard location services.
* Changed method signature of `beginLocationUpdatesWithDesiredAccuracy` to include `useSignificantChanges` flag
* Added check for new `NSLocationAlwaysAndWhenInUseUsageDescription`
All unit tests passed.
Tested in simulator and on device, toggling `useSignificantChanges` option when calling `watchPosition`. Results were as expected. **When `TRUE`, the _Blue Bar of Shame_ was not present.**
Changes do not affect Android and location services still work as expected on Android.
* Change is for iOS only
* Using a different API will have different accuracy results. Adding `useSignificantChanges` as an option was by design so apps that want to have most accurate and most frequent update can still use standard location services.

Summary:
**Issue:**
Some fonts are defined with weights that don't match with the UIFontWeight constants.
**Example:**
UIFontWeightTraits for Roboto font
Light: -0.230
Thin: -0.365
Currently, the UIFontWeightTrait is always used if it != 0.0, and given the UIFontWeight constants for Light and Thin:
UIFontWeightThin -0.6
UIFontWeightLight -0.4
A style font weight of "300" or "200" will both resolve to Roboto-Thin as its weight -0.365 is closer to -0.4 (UIFontWeightLight) and -0.6 (UIFontWeightThin) than -0.230 (Roboto-Light).
**Proposed fix:**
When resolving `getWeightOfFont` try to match the name of weight to the name of the font first, and guess the font with UIFontWeightTrait as the fall back.
**Test Plan:**
Attempt to display Roboto at weights "200" and "300" and Roboto-Thin and Roboto-Light should be displayed correctly.
