Blobs

The first versions of Soledad used to store all data as JSON documents, which means that binary data was also being treated as strings. This has many drawbacks, as increased memory usage and difficulties to do transfer and crypto in a proper binary pipeline.

Starting with version 0.10.0, Soledad now has a proper blob infrastructure that decouples payloads from metadata both in storage and in the synchronization process.
