Description

If the platform specific .json of plugins was removed, cordova prepare command doesn't re-create it, and as a result doesn't add plugins since 6.3.1 version, 6.3.0 is okay.

[UPD] more detailed steps to reproduce:

• install cordova@6.3.0
• go to project with platform and plugins installed
• do cordova platform remove android (or ios, doesn't matter) -> platform is removed, <platform.json> file is removed
• do cordova prepare -> platform is added, <platform.json> is recreated, therefore plugins are added to the fresh created platform.

• install cordova@6.3.1
• do same steps
• on a last step the <platform.json> is not recreated, therefore platform is created but no plugins are added.
