[2/2] git commit: Refactor to use Q.js promises in place of callbacks everywhere.

Refactor to use Q.js promises in place of callbacks everywhere.

This significantly cleans up many parts of the code, and generally
shortens it by 25%, by dropping redundant error checks.

NOTE: This DOES NOT change the "public" API of plugman, in the sense
that plugman.foo still takes a callback. Under the hood, it wraps a call
to plugman.raw.foo. If you downstream plugman and require modules like
fetch directly, (a) stop, and (b) you'll have to port to promises.

I created the cordova-3.1.x branch for all bugfixes for the 3.1.0
release, since this code should probably bake for a while before being
released to npm.
