Description

See: https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/blob/c66fc82bd0a49b940e0a5beb1563ecdb48cc7120/CordovaLib/Classes/CDVViewController.m#L245-L400

(except for the CDVLocalStorage stuff)

This 150 line behemoth should be in its own plugin (with onload="true"). Not sure about removing it from core, but putting it in its own plugin in core is a start.

Pros:

• if iOS >= 8 adds more properties, and people want to stick to Cordova 3.A and we only support it in 3.B or 4.x, they only have to update a plugin and not the whole core.

Cons:

• if they rely on these settings, they will lose them when they upgrade if they don't install a plugin, this won't be any different when they moved from 2.x to 3.x
• Yet Another Repo?

NOTE:
Do not forget to add docs, and upgrading docs.
