Description

We've recently switched to NodeJS tooling but still continue to use Powershell to parse config.xml and apply configuration params (ApplyPlatformConfig.ps1).

I see the following motivation to re-write ApplyPlatformConfig using NodeJS.
1. More easy to contribute since most of Cordova contributors are experienced in Node and don't know PS
2. More easy to maintain and modify in the future, better integration with the rest of Node tooling
3. We already have most of the configuration processing logic for Windows in cordova-lib so switching to Node should be easy
