Description
On iOS, we have the
Ti.UI.iOS.NavigationWindow to handle a stack of windows that can be opened and closed. Unfortunately, on Android and Windows, we have to do that manually and it required the (Alloy) developer to either write custom (per platform) logic or use plugins like [xp.ui](https://github.com/FokkeZB/UTiL/blob/master/app/lib/xp.ui.js).
Proposed API-changes:
* iOS: Deprecate Ti.UI.iOS.NavigationWindow in favor of Ti.UI.NavigationWindow
* Android / Windows: Support NavigationWindow, add the native [back button](https://developer.android.com/training/implementing-navigation/temporal.html)
* Android / Windows: Expose the openWindow, closeWindow and popToRootWindow if possible
* Adjust Alloy to make the <NavigationWindow> tag available for all platforms
This should be done in the Release 7.4.0 timeframe and is a fundamental cross-platform parity improvement.
