CB-9426 Fix exception using device orientation plugin on browser platform Initially reported for the `device motion` plugin, the same problem exists for the `device orientation` plugin. The plugin's `plugin.xml` defines a general `<js-module>` with the name `compass`. It defines another `<js-module>` for the `browser` platform (that merges with the general module) with the same name. Modules with the same name are not allowed, so Cordova throws an exception at runtime when trying to define the browser version of the module. Since the only difference in the browser version of the module is to fake up `deviceorientation` events, I've deleted the browser version and added that logic to the general module, with the following change: rather than starting a new event timer every time `watchHeading()` is called (which could happen multiple times resulting in multiple superfluous timers), we have a single event timer going as long as there are active watchers.
