Description

A future product, called "BlackBerry Classic" will include a pointer between the keyboard and the touchscreen - similar to classic BlackBerry devices.

Some applications may want that input to trigger spatialNavigation, while others may want it to control a mouse pointer.

In order to allow developers flexibility in how they interact with this hardware feature, cordova-blackberry needs to support a preference.

<preference name="spatialNavigation" value="..." />

values can be:
enable/true
disable/false

The default is false, i.e. users will get a mouse cursor with fine control (and the ability to easily and logically trigger :hover).
