CB-7684: (iOS) Fix CDVSound killing all audio when a single file finishes
### Platforms affected
iOS
### What does this PR do?
We arrived to the same conclusion as Nathan Stryker on Jira
(https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7684) and @ionut-movila in the PR
https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-media/pull/33 : all `self.avSession
setActive:NO` should be removed.
The problem was not only that when a media finishes it is stopping other
ones played by the plugin, but it is also killing any sound played by another
plugin or by WebView's default webaudio system, triggering a descriptive:
```
AVAudioSession.mm:646: -[AVAudioSession setActive:withOptions:error:]:
Deactivating an audio session that has running I/O. All I/O should be stopped
or paused prior to deactivating the audio session.
```
We found that `AVAudioSession` is a singleton for the whole app (cf.
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/AVFoundation/Reference/AVAudioSession_ClassReference/).
Apple says:
> Most apps never need to deactivate their audio session explicitly.
Important exceptions include VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) apps,
turn-by-turn navigation apps, and, in some cases, recording apps.
(cf.
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/Audio/Conceptual/AudioSessionProgrammingGuide/ConfiguringanAudioSession/ConfiguringanAudioSession.html)
### What testing has been done on this change?
- Played multiple sounds (non streaming) with the plugin, then waited for
one to stop: it is not stopping other sounds anymore.
- Played multiple sounds (non streaming) with the plugin, then stopped one
and released it: it is not stopping other sounds anymore.
- Played a sound (non streaming) with the plugin and another one via
webview's webaudio, then waited the one played by the plugin to end: it is not
stopping other sounds anymore.
- Played a sound (non streaming) with the plugin and another one via
webview's webaudio, then stopped and released the one played by the plugin: it
is not stopping other sounds anymore.
- Checked all possibilities with Xcode monitoring application: no memory
issue detected.
Ran the integrated tests. Before doing any change (version 2.3.1-dev) the
result was:

After the change the result is exactly the same:

Before merging, it would be great if someone can test:
- an application using the recording feature
- an application using the streaming feature

CB-7684: (iOS) Fix CDVSound killing all audio when a single file finishes
----
> [Media] CDVSound Kills any and all playing sound files when a single file
> finishes
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-7684
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7684
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: Plugin Media
> Affects Versions: 3.5.0
> Environment: iOS
> Reporter: Nathan Stryker
>
> The CDVSound file will kill all playing media files when ever a single file
> completes playing. The issue is around like 691 in the method
> "AudioDidFinishPlaying", with the code:
> if (self.avSession) {
> [self.avSession setActive:NO error:nil];
> }
> The reason I think this is a bug is that if a user as Music file A playing in
> a loop and Music file B plays, when B completes the "setActive:NO" will kill
> the avSession of both A and B.
