[CB-10694] Platform-specific configuration preferences don't override global settings

• Type: Bug

Description

In the following scenario, the platform-specific orientation value is not taking preference as I would expect:

global: default, ios: all --> no plist entries

In this scenario, both the global and the platform specific preference setting get copied to the platform's config.xml, and the 'default' wins out. Is it a supported scenario to "override" a global preference with a platform specific setting?

I am testing with cordova@6.0.0.
