For https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4222
I added this note at the bottom of the 2.9.0 -> 3.0.0 Upgrading Guide for iOS: NOTE: Starting with Cordova 3.0.0, projects do not come with any plugins, you will have to install the ones you require for your project using the `plugman` CLI utility - see the Core Plugin Install Guide. Note the currently non-existent "Core Plugin Install Guide" which is common for all platforms. I talked to Steve, this doc should show two methods - the Cordova CLI way and the plugman way of how to install the core plugins. Since the Upgrading Guides are for legacy methods, it refers to the plugman way. Mike Sierra, not sure if this is a good method or we should cram everything into the CLI doc.
