Description

Apparently this got missed after weeks of review. The new default bridge doesn't work on Jellybean, and since we're required to support Jellybean until it dips below 5%, we need to be able to keep supporting it for the SystemWebView. However, we have a uniquely strange situation where we just add bridge modes to SystemWebViews, which could cause some unpredictable results when choosing the right webview.

For example, we have enumerated values for setting the mode on the JS for the four types of nativeToJsBridges, but they can be added at random depending on the circumstance.

BTW: This only affects the master branch, and not any released versions of Cordova.
