Summary:
JS API very similar to web workers and node's child process.
Work has been done by somebody else for the Android implementation over at #7020, so we'd need to have these in sync before anything gets merged.
I've made a prop `messagingEnabled` to be more explicit about creating globals—it might be sufficient to just check for an onMessage handler though.
