Support for cordova-android>=10.0.0 WebViewAssetLoader default

[torte]

Description

Recently updated to cordova-android 10.0.1 and one of the breaking changes in the major release was the usage of WebViewAssetLoader in favor of loading assets from file:// (apache/cordova-android#1137, read more at https://cordova.apache.org/announcements/2021/07/20/cordova-android-10.0.0.html). This change unfortunately does not work for cordova-plugin-code-push and (based on the console output) the code-push package never installs correcty and an update is never received on the mobile app. Only when adding the fallback <preference name="AndroidInsecureFileModeEnabled" value="true" />,reverting to the previous default setup of cordova-android, to the config.xml this started working again. While this works for now, this seems to be considered insecure in the long-term.

Console output from connected Chrome dev tools:

codePushUtil.js:41 [CodePush] Preinstall failure. Could not get the package start page
codePushUtil.js:41 [CodePush]  An error has occurred while installing the package. Could not get the package start page. StackTrace: Error: An error has occurred while installing the package. Could not get the package start page

Excepted behavior

Code push update (sync) should work without issues with latest cordova-android (>=10).

Reproduction

1. Install latest cordova-android platform (currently 10.0.1 in a code-push enabled project
2. Try to push a new update for your code via code-push to the application (without adding <preference name="AndroidInsecureFileModeEnabled" value="true" /> to the project's config.xml file.
