CB-9935: Cordova CLI silently fails on node.js v5
Cordova in a couple places was mis-using the Q.all() function from
the Q promises library. That function expects an array (of values or
promises), but Cordova was passing a single string parameter. The
string was actually being reduced like an array. Previously that
happened to work out OK: the result was an array of fulfilled
single-character promises. But one line of code in Q that worked
on node.js v4 now fails on node.js v5, where because of the bad
parameter it ends up assigning a value to an index of the string:
exception in cordova-lib\node_modules\q\q.js:1490
> promises[index] = value;
TypeError: Cannot assign to read only property '0' of <string>
It appears the newer version of V8 is a little more strict about
assigning to a string index.
The fix is simply to use Q() instead of Q.all() when the intention
is to return a single fulfilled promise of type string.
