  Binary data handling via blob references.

  Blobs are stored in native memory and referenced by an opaque handle.

  ## Examples

      # Create a blob from binary data
      blob_ref = Dala.Blob.create(<<1, 2, 3>>, "application/octet-stream")

      # Slice a blob
      sliced = Dala.Blob.slice(blob_ref, 0, 2)

      base64 = Dala.Blob.to_base64(blob_ref)

      # Save to file
      {:ok, path} = Dala.Blob.to_file(blob_ref, "/tmp/blob.bin")
