Description

Because Cordova's windows platform can target multiple target platforms, projects and frameworks referenced by the plugin may need to target only a subset of those platforms. To enable this, support the following attributes on the <lib-file> and <framework> elements:

1. device - indicates the reference is specific to a target device. Supported values are "phone", "windows" or "all" (default is "all").
2. versions - specify platform versions the reference supports (node semantic version ranges supported). Default is to support all versions.
3. arch - indicates the reference is specific to a particular chip architecture (x86 or x64).

The "arch" attribute should result in a Condition="'$(Platform)'=='XXX" attribute on the reference. The other attributes will impact which generated jsproj files the reference is actually added to.
