Cordova desktop (again)

[Dave Johnson <da...@gmail.com>]

Hey all, I just had a discussion about cordova desktop and, while we
have discussed this at length in the past, given the new embeddable
view architecture of cordova it might make sense to revisit from the
perspective of just creating an embeddable view for osx and windows.
Other than getting some rough consensus on it and creating a couple of
tickets (maybe repos too since we are migrating all that now with the
graduation) there's not really anything specifically that we need to
do for it at the moment.

Thoughts?

I've been thinking about cordova-osx and how to proceed with respect
to plugins, which all the APIs are of course implemented in.

There are two ways to approach this -- direct object binding (so the
API will be synchronous), or asynchronous through a bridge like how
iOS does it (possible plugin re-use from iOS? dunno).

Currently I have some test functions in there using direct object
binding: https://github.com/apache/incubator-cordova-mac/blob/master/CordovaMac/CordovaMac/WebViewDelegate.m#L30

    sound.play
    notification.alert
    console.log

Direct object binding is not too bad, but specifying a new function is
a bit tedious, note the isSelectorExcludedFromWebScript and
webScriptNameForSelector functions where we need to specify the
functions to express:
