don't proxy chromedriver requests for /wd/hub/:session_id/appium/*

[whoward]

At my company we're testing an applinks feature (launching the app from links in the browser) and I needed the ability to install/remove apps while running a browser session on Android - I was sad to find out they 404'd

This is my first PR to appium, I'm happy to change things as needed just please help me bring it up to standards. I wanted to write a test to cover it but sadly my experience with Mocha is pretty limited (I'm normally a ruby developer) and I couldn't find existing tests for ChromeAndroid I could hopefully learn from.

I also saw this section of code which seems to be very similar - I thought it might be an inheritance issue but I couldn't see a way to fix it:

https://github.com/appium/appium/blob/master/lib/devices/android/android.js#L67-L73

yes, you're right there's an inheritance issue here. we're working on fixing the overall architecture so this piece should look nicer in the future.

and thanks for the contrib!

[whoward]

you're welcome - i hope you wont mind a few more down the road :) we're getting to be pretty invested in the appium internals.

@whoward you may want to follow the work that's being done in many of the subprojects. we're in the midst of a massive rearchitecture. appium internals are going to look very, very different in a month or two. here's where most of the work is currently taking place:

appium/appium (1.5 branch)
appium/appium-express
appium/node-mobile-json-wire-protocol
appium/appium-base-driver
appium/appium-fake-driver

[whoward]

I'll definitely have a look - thanks!

The next thing i'm most interested in putting in is installApp, removeApp and isInstalled for the iOS Simulator (should be possible with xcrun simctl, at least in Xcode 6.3 it appears to be).
