Adding Manifest Signatures

[vimalb]

To meet the security requirements of my organization, we needed to implement manifest signing for hot code pushes.

This pull request adds support for the following in the CLI:

1. Using alternate hash functions inside chcp.manifest - the current default (md5) is just fine for detecting normal changes, but it's not secure from intentional tampering. I have added support for sha256 - this can be opted into by setting the "hash_algorithm": "sha256" in cordova-hcp.json or passing the --hash_alogrithm CLI argument
2. Signing chcp.manifest via CLI argument --signing_private_key_file=/path/to/rsa_rivate_key - this will generate a new file in the bundle directory, chcp.signature

Full usage example:

1. Generate 2048-bit RSA private key
   openssl genrsa -out private.pem 2048
2. Build a signed update bundle with sha256 signatures
   cordova-hcp build --signing_private_key_file=private.pem --hash_algorithm=sha256

TODO: Update this pull request with a link to the corresponding pull with support in cordova-hot-code-push

Notes:

• Alternate hash algorithms is independent of the signature feature - you may switch hash algorithm to sha256 without signing builds and vice versa
• Switching hash algorithm is a breaking change - existing clients which were build with only md5 support will not recognize the new hashes and will treat all files as corrupted
• Signing manifests is a backwards-compatible change - existing clients which do not support validating manifest signatures will simply ignore the chcp.signature file

Please review these changes and let me know what I should change, test, or fix before you are comfortable accepting this pull.

Update: corresponding plugin changes are here: nordnet/cordova-hot-code-push#199

Also I should note that I only committed my changes to src, not to dist - once this pull is reviewed, I'm happy to also include a dist build commit but I'd rather focus on src right now.
