Description

Steps to reproduce with cordova@7.0.2-dev:

1) Create app with package.json contains empty dependencies object: "dependencies": {}
(e.g. it's default for Visual Studio Cordova template)
2) Add entry into config.xml: <engine name="windows" spec="https://github.com/apache/cordova-windows.git#4.4.x" />
3) cordova platform add windows

So, if package.json dependencies keys don't include windows or cordova-windows, we should look for a spec in config.xml.
