(WIP) App data clear API

[d4vidi]

Add support for Application clear-data, so that apps wont have to be reinstalled on Android (clearing the data is much faster).

[LeoNatan]

Isn't this supported by adb? I thought we are already using it.

[d4vidi]

Sort of, but it's not as simple as running a single command. In any case, we might want to consider an API that would do this seamlessly on Android and iOS (e.g. a resetApp() call that would clear data on android, and reinstall on iOS)... does that make sense?

[LeoNatan]

Reinstall in iOS doesn’t guarantee data clearance in some cases. I prefer not to offer API that cannot do what the users explicitly is asking for.

[d4vidi]

Yes you are right. My aim was to try to avoid spreading if (isIos) device.launchApp({delete: true}) else device.clearData() being implemented over and over out there.

This will be introduced indirectly via #2534

The #3497 did not enter the master, so I think it is totally fine to keep this issue open for a while.
