Description
As of Cordova 5.4.0, an old plugin id is automatically converted to a new id using the corodva-registry-mapper.
This causes a new id to be fetched even if an old id is already fetched in the plugins directory (at cordova-lib/src/plugman/install.js)
However, plugman/fetch.js/copyPlugin() checks if the alias id is already in the plugins directory, and skips installing the fetched newId plugin.
This causes unnecessary overhead.
It is better to check if the oldId is already fetched, and skips fetching the newId from the beginning.
