Wow, this is annoying. Makes it harder to pretend that browsers are all the same.
It would be nice to hide all this msSaveOrOpenBlob stuff in some polyfill rather than in this component, but if it's only going to be used here, I guess it's not so bad.

Yeah @johncowen mentioned https://github.com/eligrey/FileSaver.js/ which may be worth looking at if this gives us any other issues. I think for now since it's just in this component we'll try this for now.

IE11 / Edge both don't seem to have a
Fileconstructor, so this detects the MS-specific API for saving Blobs, and will use it instead of using the File constructor to add download links to the UI.Before: it'd error out the rendering on the Show page leaving a blank textarea.
After:
Manually tested in IE11 Win7 (Note: we need to get cross-browser testing set up and getting the UI tests up and running in CI in general).
