For discussion: CB-8869 remove Windows 8.0 from Windows Universal version
As I described [CB-8869](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-8869),
the Windows 8.0 target does not work with certain newer tools such as Visual
Studio Express 2013, and is not supported by some newer Windows Universal
plugins such as
[Cordova-sqlite-storage](https://github.com/litehelpers/Cordova-sqlite-storage).
Keeping the Windows 8.0 target can lead to confusion and the potential for
other problems for new Windows Universal app developers.
If we cannot drop Windows 8.0 right now, then please ignore this PR.
As I said in PR #67, my ICLA for Apache was already accepted for
apache/cordova-wp8#72.

CB-8869: remove Windows 8.0 from Windows Universal version
----
> Windows Universal target without Windows 8.0
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-8869
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-8869
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Windows
> Affects Versions: 3.5.0
> Environment: Visual Studio 2013 Express
> Reporter: Chris Brody
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: cordova-cli, cordova-windows, windows-universal,
> windows81
> Fix For: Master
>
> Original Estimate: 4h
> Remaining Estimate: 4h
>
> If I create a cordova-windows project and open it with Visual Studio Express
> 2013, I get a notice that I have to retarget the project for Windows 8.1. In
> fact, Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 targets already exist, so I have to
> simply remove the Windows 8.0 target. In addition, I suspect more and more
> plugins will drop support for Windows 8.0. Can we make the Windows 8.0 target
> optional or drop it from the Windows Universal target?
