   ### Platforms affected
   iOS
   
   
   ### 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. -->
   See https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/issues/1288
   
   
   ### Description
   <!-- Describe your changes in detail -->
   This ensures that the default `init` method is called for CDVPlugin 
subclasses, to allow Swift initializers to run as expected.
   
   
   Aside: I still feel like `NS_DESIGNATED_INITIALIZER` would be the 
theoretically correct way to solve this, but that doesn't work when our 
designated initializer with the webview is part of private implementation 
details (your designated initializer must be part of your public API surface).
   The risk is that someone could (in their own code) do `[[MyCordovaPlugin 
alloc] init]` and try to construct a plugin instance without providing the 
webview engine, and lead to all sorts of weird issues.
   
   However, that problem already existed and people don't seem to be shooting 
themselves in the foot with it (or at least, not complaining here when they 
do), so it's probably better to fix the issue that is impacting people even if 
the solution isn't theoretically perfect.
   
   ### Testing
   <!-- Please describe in detail how you tested your changes. -->
   Added a unit test which ensures that an init-time property in a Swift plugin 
is correctly set after the plugin has been initialized. This test case fails 
without the changes to CDVPlugin.m.
