Allow duplicate keys in FormData
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Summary: Right now `FormData` doesn't allow duplicate keys and uses the last value set for a duplicate key. I tested this in Chrome:
```
var formData = new FormData();
formData.append('key', 'value1');
formData.append('key', 'value2');

var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.open("POST", serverUrl);
request.send(formData);
```
and the request has both 'value1' and 'value2'.

I removed the duplicate key check in `FormData`. If people want to build appending or disallow duplicate keys, they can build either on top of this.
Closes facebook#3556
