Delta Installation (Incremental app updates during development)

[gabebear]

To make the development cycle faster, Xcode only pushes changed files in the form of app deltas. This makes deploying large apps to devices significantly faster and something ios-deploy does not currently support.

Deploying with deltas does not delete files from existing app-bundles, which can create "frankenbuild" with legacy files from previous builds. This can cause problems during testing and mask bugs so this feature should be disableable.
