Support local paths in the browser

[anuveyatsu]

We're developing Electron app and had this problem when trying to read files in Electron app's window (which is actually a browser window):

tableschema-js/src/helpers.js

Lines 31 to 33 in 15a6746

	if (config.IS_BROWSER) {
	throw new TableSchemaError('Local paths are not supported in browser')
	}

Can I ask what's the reason for this? And should we consider doing PR to support it?

Initially it wasn't intended to be used in the browser. But this use-case and also datapackage-ui shows that it's needed.

Has there been any progress on this?
