Asynchronously loads the given URL as a blob. Returns a promise that will resolve to
a Blob once loaded, or reject if the URL failed to load. The data is loaded
using XMLHttpRequest, which means that in order to make requests to another origin,
the server must have Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) headers enabled.
