Description

cordova plugin remove cannot delete dependency-only plugins, which do not have any platforms defined in their plugin.xml file. plugman.uninstall() is only called for platforms, not for the plugin itself.

I propose fixing this by separating the tasks of

• removing a plugin from a particular platform, and
• removing a plugin from the cordova project

Dependency-only projects need the second step to occur, but not the first.
Other plugins will have the first step run once per platform, and then the second step run once.
