Create injected JavaScript in a single place and then inject it both as a WebView prop and with the `injectJavaScript`-method on `onLoadEnd`. This is preparatory for adding more injected JavaScript.
Opens external links present onLoadEnd in external browser, but doesn't yet handle the SPA-aspect of the site

I'm not sure this line is actually needed at all, since we're loading the same code on every onLoadEnd, but I donno 🤷♀️

I merged #20 so this is now good to rebase |

Cool, I'll get on that asap :) Any input on whether this should be done or not, and if so, if my potential solution makes sense? |

Okay, so I was playing around with the code and wanted to see if I could get external links (i.e. ones not hosted on
Settings.BASE_URL) to open in the external browser instead of in theWebView, but ran into a bit of a hurdle and wanted to see if anyone other than me want this before continuing.The code I've got now seems to work fine with converting any external link present when the page loads, but since the website is an SPA and some links are created after the page has been loaded, we're going to need to do some (possibly horrifying) magic to make those open externally, possibly with a
MutationObserver, unless anyone has any better suggestions (please 🙏 ).This PR is based on #20, so 448c193 shouldn't really be in this PR, sorry about the mess.
