How does `cordova platform update` work?
- It uses platforms/*/cordova/version script to discover current version
- It fetches the new version into $HOME/.cordova/libs
- It runs new_version/bin/upgrade path/to/platforms/$PLATFORM for the specified
platform
The platform script is responsible for:
#1 - doing all easily automated steps (e.g. update Cordova.jar, update scripts
within cordova/)
#2 - Printing out a message saying what manual steps should be taken to
complete the upgrade (e.g. Please add this snippet to your ApplicationDelegate)
