Maybe fixes #217 ?

Because of background service limitations introduced in Android 8.0, functionality that relies on IntentService may not work properly. At Mattermost we starting seeing a high amount of the following exception:

com.facebook.react.common.JavascriptException: Error: Exception in HostObject::get(propName:WixRNNotifications): java.lang.IllegalStateException: Not allowed to start service Intent { cmp=com.mattermost.rn/com.wix.reactnativenotifications.gcm.FcmInstanceIdRefreshHandlerService (has extras) }:

While I wasn't able to reproduce, it seems that the IntentService is not playing nice with the background limitations mentioned above. We're applying these changes in a patch but I thought I'd open a PR here as well.

…background (#678)

### Highlights
- Changes the mechanism by which the library fetches the FCM token in the background.

### Context
In newer Android versions (8+), background applications cannot start `IntentService`'s. Using the notifications library in these newer Android versions will result in a lot of exceptions of the type `java.lang.IllegalStateException`. Sample stack trace:

```
java.lang.IllegalStateException: 
  at android.app.ContextImpl.startServiceCommon (ContextImpl.java:1522)
  at android.app.ContextImpl.startService (ContextImpl.java:1478)
  at android.content.ContextWrapper.startService (ContextWrapper.java:650)
  at com.wix.reactnativenotifications.RNNotificationsModule.startFcmIntentService (RNNotificationsModule.java:135)
  at com.wix.reactnativenotifications.RNNotificationsModule.initialize (RNNotificationsModule.java:50)

  at com.facebook.react.bridge.NativeModuleRegistry.notifyJSInstanceInitialized (NativeModuleRegistry.java:102)
  at com.facebook.react.bridge.CatalystInstanceImpl$2.run (CatalystInstanceImpl.java:441)

  at com.facebook.react.bridge.queue.MessageQueueThreadHandler.dispatchMessage (MessageQueueThreadHandler.java:26)

  at com.facebook.react.bridge.queue.MessageQueueThreadImpl$4.run (MessageQueueThreadImpl.java:225)
  at java.lang.Thread.run (Thread.java:764)
```

Now, in order to start intents in the background, the `JobIntentService` class must be extended.

This PR consists in basically the same changes proposed by @migbot in #491 (this PR was closed for inactivity a few months ago).

Should close #671;
