Description

When the 'cordova platform add' command is executed with no version specified (e.g: user runs ‘cordova platform add android’ instead of ‘cordova platform add android@3.6.4’), cordova-lib should look at the config.xml file for the correct <engine> element and use its version. It should default to using the pinned version if there is no corresponding <engine> element in the config.xml file.

For example, if the user enters : 'cordova platform add android' and the config.xml file contains this entry: <cdv:engine id="android" version="file://C:/folder/to/android/platform" />, We should use the specified folder's bin/create scripts to add the android platform, not the default version.

The engine element in config.xml could be one of the following form :

1- <cdv:engine id="android" version="3.6.0" />
2- <cdv:engine id="android" version="file://C:/folder/to/android/platform" />
