React Native support

React Native’s network stack is pretty compatible with the browser’s so I don’t think it would be much of a stretch to officially support React Native.

I was able to get a minimal example working with a few tweaks:

1. Mirage and Pretender both assume self is available. Using RN-browser-polyfill to expose global as self before importing mirage fixed this. We could guard against this, but the polyfill seems to be a common enough solution for this in RN.
2. Pretender uses document.createElement('a') to parse URLs which isn’t available in mobile. I “fixed” this by patching mirage’s umd’d parseUrl to fall back to url-parse. This should be fixed upstream or we can at least move the patch to mirage itself.

@samselikoff mentioned some de-pretenderingthat’s happening for node support, so that may also be an option 💯

Awesome, thanks so much! Getting your instructions into a QuickStart would also be 💯
