CB-8043 CB-6462 CB-6105 Refactor orientation preference support
Fixes [CB-8043](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-8043),
[CB-6462](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6462) and
[CB-6105](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6105). Touches
[CB-6182](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6182).
Adds support for the global & platform-specific orientation preference
(iOS, WP8 and Firefox). Android and Amazon Fire OS already had this
functionality. Additionally, platform-specific orientation preference now
accepts user-defined values (e.g. `reverseLandscape` for Android or
`UIInterfaceOrientationPortraitUpsideDown` for iOS). If need be I'd be happy to
update the
[docs](http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/4.0.0/config_ref_index.md.html).
Both iOS and WP8 APIs allow the developer to define an initial orientation
as well as a set of supported orientations. For now, the platform-specific
parsers for iOS and WP8 keep it simple and don't support defining the supported
orientations (see
[ios_parser.js](/MMrko/cordova-lib/tree/fix-orientation-pref/cordova-lib/src/cordova/metadata/ios_parser.js#L78-L102)
&
[wp8_parser.js](/MMrko/cordova-lib/tree/fix-orientation-pref/cordova-lib/src/cordova/metadata/wp8_parser.js#L62-L84)).
As a future improvement the orientation preference could/should offer such
granularity. Meanwhile, developers can resort to a custom approach in their
builds.
To help keep the code maintainable I added a
[cordova-lib/src/configparser/supportedPreferences.json](/MMrko/cordova-lib/tree/fix-orientation-pref/cordova-lib/src/configparser/supportedPreferences.json)
that lists the supported preferences and their values for each platform.
Maintainer input would be appreciated on this since I wonder if the approach I
took here is OK. Nevertheless, a central config for preferences seems necessary.
Tested on OS X Mavericks & Windows 8 running VS 2013.
