Description

If the plugin B is installed by cordova plugin add command after it was already installed as a dependency to another plugin A it is sill marked as dependency and will be removed after uninstallation of A.

Repro steps:

• Install plugin A with dependency on plugin B
  This installs plugin A and plugin B
• Install plugin B — because the user wants to use it
  Installation does nothing because plugin B is already installed
• Uninstall plugin A
  This removes both plugin A and plugin B

Expected:
The plugin B remains installed
