Add responseType as a concept to RCTNetworking, send binary data as b…
…ase64 In preparation for Blob support (wherein binary XHR and WebSocket responses can be retained as native data blobs on the native side and JS receives a web-like opaque Blob object), this change makes RCTNetworking aware of the responseType that JS requests. A `xhr.responseType` of `''` or `'text'` translates to a native response type of `'text'`. A `xhr.responseType` of `arraybuffer` translates to a native response type of `base64`, as we currently lack an API to transmit TypedArrays directly to JS. This is analogous to how the WebSocket module already works, and it's a lot more versatile and much less brittle than converting a JS *string* back to a TypedArray, which is what's currently going on. Now that we don't always send text down to JS, JS consumers might still want to get progress updates about a binary download. This is what the `'progress'` event is designed for, so this change also implements that. This change also follows the XHR spec with regards to `xhr.response` and `xhr.responseText`: - if the response type is `'text'`, `xhr.responseText` can be peeked at by the JS consumer. It will be updated periodically as the download progresses, so long as there's either an `onreadystatechange` or `onprogress` handler on the XHR. - if the response type is not `'text'`, `xhr.responseText` can't be access and `xhr.response` remains `null` until the response is fully received. `'progress'` events containing response details (total bytes, downloaded so far) are dispatched if there's an `onprogress` handler. Once Blobs are landed, `xhr.responseType` of `'blob'` will correspond to the same native response type, which will cause RCTNetworking to only send a blob ID down to JS, which can then create a `Blob` object from that for consumers. **Test Plan:** This change comes with extensive changes and expansions to the XHRExamples in UIExplorer. `onprogress` handler, `onreadystatechange` handler, and `responseType = 'arraybuffer'` can be switched on independently. I tested all combinations on both iOS and Android.
