Description

When running `cordova prepare` or `cordova platform add ios` after adding plugins, the platform-specific config.xml file for iOS (`platforms/ios/NAME/config.xml`) doesn't have `<feature>` tags, which effectively prevents any installed plugin from working.

The tags do get added when installing plugins after the iOS platform was created.

How to reproduce - this creates a working config.xml:

	cordova create test
	cd test
	cordova platform add ios
	cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-device --save

This creates a broken config.xml (resulting in `Plugin 'Device' not found, or is not a CDVPlugin.` error when running on a an iPhone):

	cordova create test
	cd test
	cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-device --save
	cordova platform add ios
