Implement formal Cordova/PhoneGap API

[jfspencer]

It would be great to have a standardized Cordova API instead of relying solely on the REST API. I have the foundation written here. It doesn't contain a full replacement for the REST API yet, but it would be very straight forward to implement the remaining functionality.

Also based on the REST API wiki page on the Couchbase Lite 2 repo the REST API is more limited than the 1.x version and is more intended for testing than actual production use. So instead of doubling the work to build out the rest api again, why not just have a complete native api using the standard Cordova interface?

@jfspencer We did quite a bit of work towards that end in the spring. Would love some help.

@tommyo cool, looks like a good start. Its probably best to wait until CBL 2 is released to continue work though.
