CB-9559 Adding a plugin with caret in version results in an error
When Cordova used npm 1.3.x internally, we had to process "caret versions"
since npm 1.3.x didn't understand them. As part of that, we'd turn the caret
version into a fully defined version range, which contained a space, and npm
1.3.x required that we wrap such a range in quotes.
This logic broke when we upgraded to npm 2.10.x - it no longer requires the
quotes in this scenario, and in fact fails if we include them. However, we also
no longer need to do this processing (since npm 2.10.x understands caret
versions), so we can just remove that code altogether.

> Key: CB-9559
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-9559
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: CordovaLib
> Affects Versions: 5.2.0
> Environment: OS X 10.10.5
> cordova-cli 5.2.0
> Reporter: Shazron Abdullah
> Assignee: Tim Barham
> Priority: Critical
>
> *Repro:*
> {code}
> cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-battery-status@^1.0.0
> Fetching plugin "cordova-plugin-battery-status@^1.0.0" via npm
> Failed to fetch plugin cordova-plugin-battery-status@^1.0.0 via registry.
> Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
> Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.
> Error: No compatible version found: cordova-plugin-battery-status@'">=1.0.0
> <2.0.0"'
> Valid install targets:
> ["0.2.1","0.2.3","0.2.4","0.2.5","0.2.6","0.2.7","0.2.9","0.2.10","0.2.11","0.2.12","1.0.0","1.1.0"]
> {code}
> *Expected:*
> The plugin can be installed
> *Actual:*
> The plugin cannot be installed.
> Note in the error log, the version is expanded from:
> {code}
> @^1.0.0
> {code}
> to:
> {code}
> @">=1.0.0 <2.0.0"
> {code}
> But, it appears the double quotes around the expanded version in the error
> log are *wrapped with single quotes* now, resulting in the error.
> The version is expanded using this *processPluginVersion* function:
> https://github.com/apache/cordova-lib/blob/3e34b557c8bb6876022f0a4186b81d4ff8e5da75/cordova-lib/src/plugman/registry/registry.js#L282
> From this commit:
> https://github.com/apache/cordova-lib/commit/024b970b26d3d8b7f9a6b2f0eab2325d7716deef
> The fix appears to be not calling the function *processPluginVersion* and
> passing it to *npm cache add* as is:
> https://github.com/apache/cordova-lib/blob/3e34b557c8bb6876022f0a4186b81d4ff8e5da75/cordova-lib/src/plugman/registry/registry.js#L270
> The purpose of this function is because we are using an older version of npm
> that may not understand carets. Is this still truly the case? If not, we
> could get rid of this function -- while still keeping CB-9147 fixed/resolved
