The --default-capabilities flag

Appium 1.5 does away with most CLI flags that existed previously; the remainder can be converted into JSON and made part of the --default-capabilities flag. For example:

# raw JSON as an argument
--default-capabilities '{"app": "myapp.app", "deviceName": "iPhone Simulator"}'
# or the name of a JSON file
--default-capabilities /path/to/file.json

Windows users will need to escape the quotes in JSON passed on the command line: --default-capabilities "{\"app\": \"myapp.app\"}"
