   ### Motivation and Context
   <!-- Why is this change required? What problem does it solve? -->
   <!-- If it fixes an open issue, please link to the issue here. -->
   
   Currently, adding attributes to the XML tags requires a lot of repos to 
update.
   
   cordova-common to read the new XML tag.
   cordova-lib and cordova cli need to update their dependencies. 
   People need to update cordova-cli to have the cordova-common update.
   
   Each platform that wants to use the new attribute needs to be updated.
   cordova-docs also needs to be updated.
   
   Depending on the number of platforms that needs the update you're looking at 
5 or more repos requiring an update, even when it's simply add a brand new 
attribute to an XML tag.
   
   
   This PR updates the XML parsing code to passthrough all attributes.
   Existing attributes are parsed in the same way there parsed before. New 
attributes will be passed through without any addition parsing.
   
   The intention is to stop requiring cordova-common updates in order to add 
attributes to XML tags.
   
   
   The benefit of this PR is that it removes need to update 3 repos when 
modifying supported XML tags. Those 3 repos being cordova-common, cordova-lib, 
and cordova-cli.
   
   ### Description
   <!-- Describe your changes in detail -->
   Copies all attributes from XML tags to the return object in the respective 
XML tag get functions.
   
   Existing attributes are still parsed in the exact same way as before.
   E.X framework attribute "embed" is still passed through isStrTrue.
   
   I don't believe any cordova-docs updates are required.
   
   ### Testing
   <!-- Please describe in detail how you tested your changes. -->
   
   I've ran npm test on cordova-common, cordova-lib, cordova-cli. lib and cli 
were updated with the cordova-common change.
   I've ran these changes on my company's app.
   
   An update in my company's attribute is requiring me to add an new attribute 
to the framework tag. I've tested adding a new attribute to cordova-ios with my 
company's app using these changes.
