[Andrea Marchesini]

Summary: implement and ship 3 new methods to read Blob contents:
blob.text(), blob.arrayBuffer() and blob.stream().

Bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1557121

https://github.com/w3c/FileAPI/pull/117

Platform coverage: all.

Estimated or target release: 69

Do other browser engines implement this?
Chrome has already shipped these methods. See:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=945893
Safari hasn't started to work on them yet. See:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196258

web-platform-tests: We have existing WPTs. See:
https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/blob/master/FileAPI/blob

Is this feature restricted to secure contexts? No.
