Summary

We are seeing crash reports that the webview is missing. In this case
it should fail gracefully so that a missing webview does not block
from using an app built with React Native.

The contains could also be changed to check for "webview" in general
to catch all webview related exception. It's currently checking on
for the specific string that I'm seeing in our app's crashreporting tool.

Summary:
We have been experiencing the below crashes in our Flipkart Android app:

Stack overflow thread for the issue that is causing this crash: [https://stackoverflow.com/a/56246743](https://stackoverflow.com/a/56246743)

The change I have done is an enhancement on the following PR which got merged to master: [https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/24533](https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/24533)

The exception handling for this crash already exists but it relies on having a specific string in the error message ("Webview not installed"). But the error message for the crashes above does not include this string.

I have added a check for all the crashes involving the `MissingWebViewPackageException`.
Refer the file: [https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/master/core/java/android/webkit/WebViewFactory.java#102](https://android.googlesource.com/platform/frameworks/base/+/master/core/java/android/webkit/WebViewFactory.java#102)

Summary:
I applied the changes requested in this PR: #29089

We upgraded to RN 0.62.2 on our latest release and started to see again the "Failed to load WebView provider: No WebView installed" (see below for Crashlytics screenshot)

![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/870365/131935283-033fbd44-5a3b-49b0-bd25-3d6733f22040.png)

This crash had been fixed by #24533 but #26189 (added in 0.62) reverted the fix

Indeed the exception raised in Crashlytics is actually a `AndroidRuntimeException` and `MissingWebViewPackageException` is only part of the message.

For instance, in the screenshot above, the exception message is `android.webkit.WebViewFactory$MissingWebViewPackageException: Failed to load WebView provider: No WebView installed`

Now these crashes are quite tricky to reproduce, so to be on the safe side, I'm filtering out all exceptions containing `WebView` as suggested by thorbenprimke on the original fix.

If my reasoning is correct, it should fix siddhantsoni 's issue as well, since `WebView` is included in `MissingWebViewPackageException`
But following that reasoning, I am not sure #26189 fixed siddhantsoni 's issue, so siddhantsoni if you could check that this PR also fixes your issue, that would be great!

## Changelog

[Android] [Fixed] - Fix missing WebView provider crash in ForwardingCookieHandler

<!-- Help reviewers and the release process by writing your own changelog entry. For an example, see:

Pull Request resolved: #32165

Test Plan:
I created a version of react native with this patch applied

```
"react-native": "almouro/react-native#release/062-2-fix-missing-webview-provider"
```

Before the fix ~0.1% of our users were impacted on Android, no new crashes have occurred after the update.

This is putting back what was already in place and working for us, but making the check wider to catch more errors.
