Description

Since Android M, it's supported to have a light status bar, which will have black text, instead of white text. That allows to have status bar backgrounds that might be lighter than before.

There is already something similar for iOS (StatusBarStyle), so it would be easy to add. I already have the code here (https://github.com/sovanta/cordova-plugin-statusbar/commit/ef318e777d50918aeb9f7d86bb29a759dd8d3830), I just need to go through the ICLA signing..
