[CB-12015] initial-scale values less than 1.0 are ignored on Android

Description

So, the way cordova-android is right now if I use:

<meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no, initial-scale=1.0" />

Everything is good. Increasing the scale to 2.0 or 3.0 correctly makes everything bigger. However, setting:

<meta name="viewport" content="user-scalable=no, initial-scale=0.5" />
has no effect whatsoever.

Going into the SystemWebViewEngine class and adding:

settings.setUseWideViewPort(true);
settings.setLoadWithOverviewMode(true);

to initWebViewSettings() method then allows me to scale the viewport down.
