[CB-7615] Config.xml changes cannot be made inside pre-prepare hook

• Type: Bug

Description

If your pre-prepare hook modifies the top-level application config.xml, those changes will not be reflected until the next prepare.

The reason is that cordova-lib incorrectly reads the state of the config file right at the state of prepare, before running pre-prepare hooks. Since the content isn't actually used until after the pre-prepare hooks are fired, the fix is trivial, just read the file later hooks fire!
