Title: Play <video> tags from the Webview in a Fullscreen video player.

Code from the Froyo Android Browser was adapted to support elements in Cordova. The WebView creates a "CustomView" (a video player) that is displayed fullscreen.
It uses API level 7, work has to be done to support lower version.

Tested on Android 2.2: works
Tested on Android 4.1: doesn't work. It seems videos are handled differently (without the use of "Custom views"). To make video playing work on Android 4, add the android:hardwareAccelerated="true" attribute to the main activity of the AndroidManifest.

I'm available for comments and questions. I can sign the Apache CLA if you decide to accept the pull request.
