Summary: When we built packager asset system we were mostly concerned about images. However, this system can also be used to work with videos, animations and other binary resources. The code that sorts assets into Android resource folders currently just shoves all non-drawable resources under `drawable-mdpi`, which is not ideal. Talking to Android experts on the team, `raw` seems like a much better place for other resources.

Summary:
https://github.com/facebook/react-native/issues/3679 was only partially fixed as the behaviour only works on iOS. This implements the same behaviour for Android. If the JSBundle was loaded from the assets folder, this will load images from the built-in resources. Else, load the image from the same folder as the JS bundle.
EDIT: For added clarity:
On iOS,
Bundle Location: 'file:///Path/To/Sample.app/main.bundle'
httpServerLocation: '/assets/module/a/'
Name: 'logo'
type: 'png'
**Resolved Asset location: '/Path/To/Sample.app/assets/module/a/logo.png'**
On Android,
Bundle Location: 'file:///sdcard/Path/To/main.bundle'
httpServerLocation: '/assets/module/a/',
name: 'logo'
type: 'png'
**Resolved Asset location: 'file:///sdcard/Path/To/drawable_mdpi/module_a_logo.png'**
