Description

Currently, we have:
<engine name="cordova" version=">=1.7.0" />

This checks against the result of platform/bin/version scripts. However, it's quite possible to have a plugin that works with cordova-android >=3.0 and cordova-ios >=3.1

CB-4036 introduces per-platform SDK & OS version checks.

This issue covers have cordova versions be per-platform, as well as having plugman version requirement.

<engines>
<engine name="cordova-plugman" version=">=3.0.0" />
<engine name="cordova-android" version=">=3.0.0" />
<engine name="cordova-ios" version=">=3.1.0" />
</engines>

We could still maintain:
<engines>
<engine name="cordova" version=">=3.1.0" />
</engines>

as a shorthand for:
<engines>
<engine name="cordova-plugman" version=">=3.1.0" />
<engine name="cordova-android" version=">=3.1.0" />
<engine name="cordova-ios" version=">=3.1.0" />
</engines>
