Standardized integration with Cordova

Created by: snickell

Hybrid app development is a significant use-case for react (even apart from react-native), but the standard cordova 'approach' uses the cordova CLI tool and build system. Unfortunately you can't have two CLI/build systems operative at once in the stack, so we end up having to choose between a smooth cordova-based stack, or a smooth create-react-app based stack.

EmberCLI (via an addon), Ionic and other CLI-type platforms have integrated cordova support, so you can use their CLI tool and still access cordova features.

It would be great to have basic Cordova integration in create-react-app, ala ionic or embercli. I suspect a small set of Cordova features would cover the majority of simple hybrid app use cases.
