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)
https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/6e5ea8d2a995b32bbc5972edc4f827b959f2702f

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:

            special variable value.
