fix(whitelisted origins): Prevent handling of un-whitelisted URLs
* Preventing an unhandled promise rejection when: a URL is loaded by the WebView, but the URL isn't in the origin whitelist, so it is handed off to the OS to handle by calling Linking.openURL(), but Linking.openURL has an error. The code wasn't catching the error, so this would result in an unhandled promise rejection. Now the error is being caught.
* Fixing a problem where a URL is handled to the OS to deal with, via Linking.openURL, and also loaded in the WebView by making those cases mutually exclusive (they weren't previously). In more detail: when a URL is loaded by the WebView that isn't in the origin whitelist it is handled off to the OS to handle by calling Linking.openURL. But, if the onShouldStartLoadWithRequest prop is set, then that function would also be called, and then that would determine whether the URL should be loaded. This can result in a situation where the URL is passed to Linking.openURL and onShouldStartLoadWithRequest returns true so it is also loaded in the WebView. The client can fix this by duplicating the origin whitelist logic in their onShouldStartLoadWithRequest of course, but this change makes it so they don't have to.
