Whitelist files that can be embedded through url-loader (#1305)

* Whitelist files that can be embedded through url-loader Change the current catch-all loader to use file-loader instead of url-loader, and exclude common image file extensons. Add another url-loader for images, configured identically to the original catch-all loader. Part of issue #1293. * Update tests to reflect change in loader config * Integration test fix * More CI fixes * Work around broken loader-utils behaviour in integration tests * Revise the documentation around file loading * Documentation tweaks * Docs tweak * Update test now that webpack/loader-utils has been updated * Update react-scripts to depend on babel-loader@7.0.0-alpha.2 * Bump deps

 Now running `npm start` and `npm run build` also builds Sass files. Note that `node-sass` seems to have an [issue recognizing newly created files on some systems](https://github.com/sass/node-sass/issues/1891) so you might need to restart the watcher when you create a file until it’s resolved.
 
-## Adding Images and Fonts
+## Adding Images, Fonts, and Files
 
 With Webpack, using static assets like images and fonts works similarly to CSS.
 
-You can **`import` an image right in a JavaScript module**. This tells Webpack to include that image in the bundle. Unlike CSS imports, importing an image or a font gives you a string value. This value is the final image path you can reference in your code.
+You can **`import` a file right in a JavaScript module**. This tells Webpack to include that file in the bundle. Unlike CSS imports, importing a file gives you a string value. This value is the final path you can reference in your code, e.g. as the `src` attribute of an image or the `href` of a link to a PDF.
+
+To reduce the number of requests to the server, importing images that are less than 10,000 bytes returns a [data URI](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Basics_of_HTTP/Data_URIs) instead of a path. This applies to the following file extensions: bmp, gif, jpg, jpeg, and png. SVG files are excluded due to [#1153](https://github.com/facebookincubator/create-react-app/issues/1153).
 
 Here is an example:
