[FEATURE] Improved coordination with iCloud backup

[brodycj]

The following Apple developer article describes how SQLite storage should be used with iCloud: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/DataManagement/Conceptual/UsingCoreDataWithiCloudPG/UsingSQLiteStoragewithiCloud/UsingSQLiteStoragewithiCloud.html

It includes checkpointing and importing of data that is changed in the cloud, which is definitely NOT supported by this plugin. This may need to be supported in another project.

This sentence "For each app, iCloud backup is configured in config.xml and is unfortunately enabled by default as documented at: https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/6.0.0/guide/platforms/ios/config.html" [1], seems slightly confusing. Changing this setting apparently doesn't affect whethher the sqlite database is backed up as this is only about the local storage/web storage of the app itself. See phonegap/build#338 (comment)

I am still looking for a way to disable icloud backup when using sqlite together with pouchdb.

Documented at: http://pouchdb.com/api.html#create_database

Will be added to README.md when I get a chance

Thanks @johanneswilm. I updated README.md and raised a survey at #430 for a BREAKING CHANGE to fix the default iOS location.
