Tomek Zawadzki f00e348ca7 Fix support for blobs larger than 64 KB on Android (#31789)
Summary:
Fixes https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/31774.

This pull request resolves a problem related to accessing blobs greater than 64 KB on Android. When an object URL for such blob is passed as source of `<Image />` component, the image does not load.

This issue was related to the fact that pipe buffer has a limited capacity of 65536 bytes (https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/pipe.7.html, section "Pipe capacity"). If there is more bytes to be written than free space in the buffer left, the write operation blocks and waits until the content is read from the pipe.

The current implementation of `BlobProvider.openFile` first creates a pipe, then writes the blob data to the pipe and finally returns the read side descriptor of the pipe. For blobs larger than 64 KB, the write operation will block forever, because there are no readers to empty the buffer.

https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/41ecccefcf16ac8bcf858dd955af709eb20f7e4a/ReactAndroid/src/main/java/com/facebook/react/modules/blob/BlobProvider.java#L86-L95

This pull request moves the write operation to a separate thread. The read side descriptor is returned immediately so that both writer and reader can work simultaneously. Reading from the pipe empties the buffer and allows the next chunks to be written.

[Android] [Fixed] - Fix support for blobs larger than 64 KB

Pull Request resolved: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/31789

Test Plan:
A new example has been added to RN Tester app to verify if the new implementation properly loads the image of size 455 KB from a blob via object URL passed as image source.
