expo-image-picker preferredAssetRepresentationMode default changed to .current
On iOS, the default for `preferredAssetRepresentationMode` is now `.current` instead of `.automatic`.

Apps that relied on `.automatic` can pass `preferredAssetRepresentationMode: '.automatic'` to restore the old behaviour.

Selecting large files on web is now almost instant since there is no base64 conversion by default. If base64 is needed, pass `base64: true` in the options and the result will include a new base64 field.
