[iOS] Uploading an image will change the file size of the image

Description

I uploaded a 2M image and the server received a 6M image. After debugging, the form data sent by the RCTNetworking became larger.

Steps to reproduce

1. Clone the reproducer from https://github.com/carverhong/react-native-reproducer-ios-image-upload.git.

2. Install dependency and prepare the ios project.

cd react-native-reproducer-ios-image-upload
npm install
bundle install
cd ios
bundle exec pod install

After the installation is complete, the RCTNetworking log patch is automatically added for debugging.

3. Start Metro.

npm start

4. Open HelloWorld.xcworkspace with XCode and run the APP.
5. Use the RCTNetworking keyword to filter logs.

No response

Start with the supplied reproducer and its RCTNetworking logs, then trace the processDataForHTTPQuery and handleResult paths. Compare the rawDataSize with the multipartDataSize during the iOS upload and determine where the expansion occurs. Done means the server receives the uploaded image without the reported size increase, with regression coverage for the case.
