Play <video> tags from the Webview in a Fullscreen video player.
Code from the Froyo Android Browser was adapted to support <video> elements
in Cordova. The WebView creates a "CustomView" (a video player) that is
displayed fullscreen.
It uses API level 7, work has to be done to support lower version.
Tested on Android 2.2: works
Tested on Android 4.1: doesn't work. It seems videos are handled
differently (without the use of "Custom views"). To make video playing work on
Android 4, add the android:hardwareAccelerated="true" attribute to the main
activity of the AndroidManifest.
