Description

Per CB-5085 it was originally getting device.cordova from the native code in the device plugin. When fixing CB-5085 that was moved into the js for the device plugin (which is an improvement). This could be improved further to deprecate device.cordova entirely and replace it with the already-existing cordova.version. The benefit is that the device plugin would not be required for fetching the Cordova version, which really is a platform version and not a plugin version.
