Title: Return promise when using Angular

Breaking change! Returning the promise instead of the deferred should be preferred, as the promise is then()'able and this results in the same usage pattern as the jQuery case. Also, I don't think the deferred should be exposed. The Angular $q deferred is not then()'able, so you're required to use `cordova.getAppVersion().promise.then()`.
