Doesn't display local files properly #43

Description

@mattwritescode

When trying to display a local file like this url: "file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/blahblahblah/downloads/15212173031370-A8AB82E7-A719-4148-89CE-D5CE9FD468C6.jpg" it doesn't display anything. This is related to an old WKWebView bug that has since been fixed back in iOS 9.
It requires that we load the url with
webView.loadFileURL(url, allowingReadAccessTo: url)
instead of
webView.load(request)

I've managed to find a spot to drop that in that works, but is a little ugly and probably doesn't match the organization of the existing code very well.

If you drop the following code in right here it fixes things.

func loadRequest(_ request: URLRequest) {
        if let url = request.url,
            url.absoluteString.contains("file:"),
            #available(iOS 9.0, *) {
                webView.loadFileURL(url, allowingReadAccessTo: url)
        } else {
            webView.load(request)
        }
}
