1054028 - Support Blob preview in indexed db storage actor and UI

Status: NEW

(DevTools :: Storage Inspector, enhancement, P3)

Description

[Girish Sharma [:Optimizer]]

When a value for a indexed db entry is a Blob, the current actor simply returns an empty object as Blob cannot be serialized.

We should check on the server side send basic info about the blob as the value

 - size
 - type
 - Some special object calling out the entry as Blob

Then in the sidebar, we can get the actual value of the blob from the backend by reading it via FileReader and parsing it as plain text/ array/ data uri depending upon the type of the blob.

The front end also uses the type and displays the data correctly (image preview in case of data uri and image type, etc)
