Deleting most of storage docs
Since Cordova just uses the underlying webview's WebSQL / Localstorage /
IDB, I think it's confusing to have such elaborate docs for them. Instead,
I'd like to replace the Storage docs with a short summary of the storage
APIs that are available, and link to the relevant specs.

Good idea?

Thanks for having a look Joe! And for the +9001 :P.
Ian - I added a link right at the top to
http://www.html5rocks.com/en/features/storage. It lists the same APIs and
has articles with examples of them all. Probably this is the most helpful
thing we can do :)
I also added a note at the bottom about the File API being a storage option
as well.
Submitted.

For consistency with the rest of our docs, should we preserve at least a
minimal working example of using each?

+9001
Seriously, those docs suck and should go away! We should definitely do this.
