[Plugins] Release all the plugins: Release current master

[janpio]

Our plugins need releases.

First step is to update CI configuration so current platforms are tested, fix all the bugs that are discovered and then do a release of master as a patch or minor release if possible.

Currently working on cordova-plugin-splashscreen

[janpio]

Success, splashscreen is now vote in progress: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/9cfa884ee3242af9e09c2695346db2375864b4f1a91b45891d7b4de1@%3Cdev.cordova.apache.org%3E

Intermediate result: All the plugins with green CI are now in vote.

Missing are unfortunately 6 core plugins where the tests currently fail. Will have to invest more time to get those fixed :/

[janpio]

Remaining 6 core plugins are now all green on master as well, the failing tests have been described in issues and the CI config cleaned of them, a new PR was opened to add them back (when we fixed the failing tests, probably mostly via paramedic).

Now on to decide if I can release master directly, or if I better cherry pick non feature and breaking changes over to the release branch and release from there. (Context: camera had 35 commits since last release, inappbrowser 86... - we will have to look into those with more effort to make sure the release is good, documentation is updated etc.)

[janpio]

Cherry picking turned out to be even more work than just doing a minor release because many of the PRs were merged as individual commits instead of squashing. THat made sorting through the commits a real pain without much benefit, so I just went ahead and did a minor release for camera and inappbrowser with new features.

Currently on hold is wkwebview-engine as it is unclear why the version got a minor bump in apache/cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine#49, although this is just a bugfix. Will continue with this plugin as soon as this is clarified.

[janpio]

cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine turned to be out to be a minor release because of another feature that was added as well.

Now all vote emails are sent for all plugins.
The first 10 also already got enough votes, so I can continue with the publishing process and start preparing a blog post.

All plugin releases are finished. Yay!
