First stab at file-extras plugin (CB-285)
More testing & discussion required before putting this on the registry.

> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: CordovaJS
> Affects Versions: 1.4.0
> Environment: Both PhoneGap SDK and PhoneGap Build
> Reporter: Ashley Gullen

> There needs to be a property in PhoneGap that returns the root path to the general files added to the PhoneGap project (i.e. the directory index.html is in). For example, if I add 'music.mp3' to my project, in Android it will be located in:
> /android_asset/www/music.mp3
> On iOS after being built with PhoneGap Build it will be located in some path like this:
> /var/mobile/Applications/<app_ID>/<name>.app/www/music.mp3
> However, there does not appear to be a programmatic way to determine both <app_ID> and <name>.app.
> This has two side effects:
> 1. Paths to audio for Media must be hard-coded separately depending on the platform, which is inconvenient.
> 2. Paths to audio for Media cannot be known if developing a framework that uses PhoneGap. Since a framework does not know the App ID or name in advance, it's impossible for the framework to determine the correct path.
> This is actively blocking audio from working on iOS in PhoneGap projects exported by Construct 2 (www.scirra.com), a HTML5 game creator. Also, it seems like kind of an important function to make available anyway, since hard-coding paths for each platform is a pain.
