Fetching large json data results in OutOfMemoryError

Description

Using fetch to get several Megabytes (currently happens for me at around 80Mb) of JSON data causes Android to panic and throw an OutOfMemoryError. This is due to the fact that the whole response is being read as bytes, quickly filling up the heap.

Stacktrace:

Steps To Reproduce

I created a test repository that shows the aforementioned behaviour. It also includes a 100Mb JSON file for testing, that you can serve locally or access via GitHub directly.
Steps are as follows

1. Tap on the load data button
2. Wait for the app to crash

Expected Results

Getting an out of memory error shouldn't really happen with this size of data in my opinion. Sure 100Mb sounds a lot at first, but in enterprise-grade apps this is probably a common scenario. In any case I think there should be a possibility to dynamically switch to streaming the response since okhttp offers bytestream and charstream as well. I'm not that well versed in Java but it would probably help reduce all of the 150Mb landing on the heap at once?

Snack, code example, screenshot, or link to a repository:

Inizia dalla gestione delle risposte Android mostrata in BlobModule.java e NetworkingModule.java, quindi esegui il repository ReactNativeFetchRepro collegato con il suo file data.json da 100MB. Confronta il percorso fetch attuale con i riferimenti a OkHttp ResponseBody byteStream e charStream nell’issue; il lavoro è completato quando le risposte JSON di grandi dimensioni non causano più l’OutOfMemoryError segnalato.
