CB-7667 iOS8: Handle case where camera is not authorized (closes #49)

In iOS 7+, when the app does not have access to the camera, show a
prompt notifying the user so they're not puzzled by looking at a black
screen.

In iOS 8+, include a link on the dialog to open the Setting app to allow
the user to change their Camera privacy setting.

>             Project: Apache Cordova
>          Issue Type: Sub-task
>          Components: Plugin Camera, Plugin Media Capture
>    Affects Versions: 3.5.0
>         Environment: iOS 8
>            Reporter: Dan Polivy
>            Priority: Minor
>
> In iOS 8, it's possible for the camera to be disabled for any given app; in 
> iOS 7, this was only possible in certain regions (e.g. China).
> If the camera is disabled, and someone launches the Camera plugin to capture 
> an image from the camera, they'll just get the camera UI with a black screen, 
> and no indication that the camera permission is disabled for the app. A 
> better UX would be to show the user a prompt indicating that the camera 
> permission is disabled, and (on iOS 8) providing a button to take them to the 
> Settings app to change it.
> As of iOS 7, there's a new API to test whether the app has access to capture 
> the desired media type:
