Replace src/ios/GCDWebServer with git submodule.

It's much easier to maintain a fork of https://github.com/swisspol/GCDWebServer (that is, https://github.com/meteor/GCDWebServer) and include it in this repository as a submodule, potentially with additional commits cherry-picked in, than to maintain a copy of the code within this repository.

Much better indeed 👍

Looks good to me as well!

Might be nice to commit the "current" state of GCDWebserver to a branch in the new (forked) repository, so we can see any differences.

The modified GCDWebserver in this repository, that is.

I've published this version to npm as cordova-plugin-meteor-webapp@1.5.0, in case anyone wants to play with it (just edit meteor/packages/webapp/package.js to change the version).

I'm curious if developers will experience problems installing this plugin from a Git URL, ala:

meteor add cordova:cordova-plugin-meteor-webapp@https://github.com/...

...will encounter problems since Cordova bundles npm@2 prior to Cordova 8 (which Meteor has yet to jump to) and Git submodule support was less robust (missing?) in those earlier (read: old) versions of npm. Even if this is the case, it will hopefully be temporary since as of Cordova 8 it no longer bundles npm and falls back to the "system npm", which in Meteor's case, should be "Meteor's version of npm".

Anyhow, just a thought.

I just tried creating and running a brand new app:

meteor create mobile-test
meteor add-platform ios
meteor run ios-device

using cordova-plugin-meteor-webapp@1.5.2 and the devel branch, and was immediately hit with the following error:

Could not signal service com.apple.WebKit.WebContent: 113: Could not find specified service

This prevented the app from running. This is the same error that was reported in #34. Is anyone else seeing this? I'll keep debugging to see if it's just an issue with my environment, but just a heads up.

I'm also having this problem (in 1.6.0). It's holding us back from deploying my meteor app to the ios app store. It's critical for us.
