Sean Dewar 9095101743 vim-patch:8.1.0735: cannot handle binary data ...

Problem:    Cannot handle binary data.
Solution:   Add the Blob type. (Yasuhiro Matsumoto, closes vim/vim#3638)
6e5ea8d2a9

Nvim-specific Blob conversions are implemented in future commits.

Refactor write_blob() to use a FileDescriptor, as f_writefile() was
refactored to use one (does not apply to read_blob()).

Use var_check_lock() in f_add() for Blobs from v8.1.0897.

Add a modeline to test_blob.vim and fix some doc typos.

Include if_perl.txt's VIM::Blob() documentation. Interestingly, this
function already worked before this port, as it just returns a Blob
string literal, not an actual Blob object.

N/A patches for version.c:

vim-patch:8.1.0741: viminfo with Blob is not tested

Solution:   Extend the viminfo test.  Fix reading a blob.  Fixed storing a
            special variable value.

vim-patch:8.1.1022: may use NULL pointer when out of memory
