Satyajit Sahoo be56a3efee Implement Blob support for XMLHttpRequest
Summary:
This PR is a followup to https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/11417 and should be merged after that one is merged.

  1. Add support for creating blobs from strings, not just other blobs
  1. Add the `File` constructor which is a superset of `Blob`
  1. Add the `FileReader` API which can be used to read blobs as strings or data url (base64)
  1. Add support for uploading and downloading blobs via `XMLHttpRequest` and `fetch`
  1. Add ability to download local files on Android so you can do `fetch(uri).then(res => res.blob())` to get a blob for a local file (iOS already supported this)

  1. Clone the repo https://github.com/expo/react-native-blob-test
  1. Change the `package.json` and update `react-native` dependency to point to this branch, then run `npm install`
  1. Run the `server.js` file with `node server.js`
  1. Open the `index.common.js` file and replace `localhost` with your computer's IP address
  1. Start the packager with `yarn start` and run the app on your device

If everything went well, all tests should pass, and you should see a screen like this:

* To allow Blobs be accessed via `content://` URIs,

*
* ```xml
* <manifest>
* <application>
* <provider
* android:name="com.facebook.react.modules.blob.BlobProvider"
* android:authorities="@string/blob_provider_authority"
* android:exported="false"
* />
* </application>
* </manifest>
* ```
* And then define the `blob_provider_authority` string in `res/values/strings.xml`.
* Use a dotted name that's entirely unique to your app:
*
* ```xml
* <resources>
* <string name="blob_provider_authority">your.app.package.blobs</string>
