Potentially support platform-specific formats in BarcodeFormat enum #66

Description

@jchinlee

Currently, the specification provides "unknown" as a valid BarcodeFormat [1]. However, it doesn't make sense for a user to hint "unknown" in a BarcodeDetectorOptions, and returning "unknown" in getSupportedFormats doesn't (currently) make sense either.

One possibility proposed by @reillyeon is to convert "unknown" to "platform-specific", i.e. encompassing platform-supported formats unknown to the spec.

This could be passed back to the user, in getSupportedFormats or elsewhere, to indicate the platform supports more formats than expressed in the spec, and could be used by the user to include platform-specific formats in the hint in addition to spec-known formats.
