Vladimir Kotikov updated CB-7666:
---------------------------------
    Description: 
Windows platform template stores it's package structure (bin and template 
folders, package.json, etc.) inside of "windows" subfolder, and this is just a 
heritage of windows8 platform.
Such a structure of platform template makes for example impossible to get 
package using {{npm install}} directly from git repo, and adds unnecessary 
complexity to tooling scripts.
Since wp8 platform is already moved to proposed structure (package.json is in 
the root of repo), windows - is the last one of major platforms.

For simplicity and consistency, let's flatten repo structure and remove 
unnecessary windows folder in repo root.
