Rebased to master and investigating issues with
`uninstall-browserify.spec.js` now.
`cordova.js` seems to be blocked inside fixture projects by
`uninstall-browserify` so that `shell.rm` fails.
> Add unified hooks support for cordova app and plugins

> As per "Proposal: hooks support for plugins" dev mail thread discussion
> Hi, I have an idea how we can add more flexibility to plugin developers.
> Note, right now we have Application Developers – someone who use Cordova for
> developing applications and Plugin Developers – someone who creates plugins
> so that Application Developers can use them. For Application Developers we
> expose hooks so that they can customize their build/package/etc process. I
> want us to provide similar sort of flexibility to Plugin Developers so that
> they can go beyond of <source/>, <framework/> tags and get mechanism to add
> custom installation, build logic required by a plugin. Example usage will
> include: downloading/compiling additional binaries, marking source file to be
> copied to output dir, changing target build platform, etc. At present time
> the steps described could be only achieved by hooks manually added by
> Application Developer, but the right way is to allow Plugin Developer to
> expose this as part of plugin definition.
> Example configuration could look like
> ```
> <script type="postinstall" src="scripts/postinstall.js" />
> <script type="preinstall" src="scripts/preinstall.js" />
> <script type="install" src="scripts/install.js" />
> ```
> beforeinstall/preinstall – run before plugin is installed
> install/postinstall/afterinstall – run after plugin is installed
> uninstall – run after plugin is uninstalled
