Quasar: openURL to check for SafariViewController when cordova/ios

[tommulkins]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

My cordova project has both cordova plugins InAppBrowser (https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/reference/cordova-plugin-inappbrowser/) and SafariViewController (https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/cordova-plugin-safariviewcontroller).

I found that later iOS versions aren't allowing normal functionality of InAppBrowser any longer so replacing it with SafariViewController, which is now Apple's preference, was necessary to open a new browser window successfully.

Describe the solution you'd like

Enhance openURL logic by checking if

• Platform.is.ios is true
• window.SafariViewController && window.SafariViewController.isAvailable
• Use window.SafariViewController.show(options) passing options as default object { url: url }
• Consider allowing openURL to be passed an alternative object as first argument to allow for options to window.SafariViewController.show. See https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/cordova-plugin-safariviewcontroller for usage.
• Finally, default to window.open for InAppBrowser if SafariViewController is unavailable.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I've attempted all options of existing InAppBrowser and could not get it to work within cordova on iOS.
