iOS: Calling native methods on iPhone

[Niklas Therning]

RoboVM already has bindings for most of the stuff in UIKit,
UIImagePickerController included [1]. It's in the robovm-cocoatouch.jar
file included in the download. It's mostly untested though. Please go ahead
and try it out and let me know how it goes.
