   Browser
   
   ### Motivation and Context
   <!-- Why is this change required? What problem does it solve? -->
   <!-- If it fixes an open issue, please link to the issue here. -->
   
   Fixes a failing test:
   
   ```
   1) cordova-plugin-screen-orientation-tests.tests >> 
window.screen.orientation should successfully lock and unlock screen orientation
     - Expected 'landscape-primary' to match /^portrait-/.
   ```
   
   ### Description
   <!-- Describe your changes in detail -->
   
   The fix isn't truly  a fix, but I don't think this issue is fixable. 
Previously this worked when the browser had no screen orientation API I 
believe, but modern versions of browser does. Just because the API exists 
however doesn't mean it's usable. Chrome on desktop will have the API exists 
but attempting to use it will result with a DOMException stating that the 
device isn't supported for locking.
   
   Additionally, testing this specific case is also problematic because the 
`lock` promise still gets resolved without rejection. You cannot catch or 
otherwise capture the DOMException. The DOMException is only ever printed to 
the JS console if you attempt to run the code without anything catching the 
promise (and the promise is then resolved later).
   
   It's not something I really like, but I don't think we have a better option, 
and I think this is better than having a false negative test.
   
   The old unit test still exists, but is hidden behind a `isLockable` flag. 
It's generally expected that mobile devices will have a working `lock` API, 
should the browser cordova app ever be loaded on a mobile browser, this however 
untested because I don't think we have a way to test browser platform on a 
mobile device.
