Update Cordova up to 7.0.1

#8686
Tried to upgrade Cordova up to 7.0.1 release. This was not as easy as i tougth and end up with bumping the package version only.
The error which i have encountered is:

While adding platform Android to Cordova project:
TypeError: cordovaProject.projectConfig.getFileResources is not a function at updateFileResources

Any one could give me a clue so i could finish this up?

We really need Cordova 7 support.

[skirunman]

@wojtkowiak are you interested in Cordova 7 support and/or ability to decouple Cordova from Meteor as per meteor/meteor-feature-requests#112

@janowsiany is willing to do the work, but is looking for some guidance.

This change requires building a new dev bundle, which doesn't happen automatically. To rebuild the dev bundle locally, in a checkout of meteor/meteor:

rm -rf dev_bundle
scripts/generate-dev-bundle.sh
meteor --help

I'll need to rebuild the dev bundle and publish it to S3 for the tests to pass here, though.

I went ahead and merged this into the release-1.5.2 branch with a new dev bundle version, since the failing tests seemed to be fixed by updating the dev bundle:

• 08fdc8a
• 67d62dd

Provided all the Cordova-related tests pass on that branch, I'll publish a new beta of 1.5.2, and I would appreciate everyone's help validating it.

Since it's related to Cordova updates, it probably makes sense to update the cordova-plugin-meteor-webapp npm/plugin to include meteor/cordova-plugin-meteor-webapp#25. Therefore, I've just published that plugin to npm as 1.4.2. I've updated this directly on the release-1.5.2 branch via 4fe8541.

Please test these changes with your Cordova apps after running meteor update --release 1.5.2-beta.3! If there are any additional changes needed, I would recommend submitting PRs against the release-1.5.2 branch, since these changes are not yet on devel.

@benjamn thanks for your guidance
meteor@1.5.2-beta.3 builds successfully for cordova-ios and cordova-android

I am able to build successfully with Xcode 8.3.2 on Mac OS 10.12.5 using the 1.5.2-beta.3 release. I removed /.meteor/local before building, but I'm getting these warning messages:

WARNING: Attempting to install plugin cordova-plugin-splashscreen@4.0.1, but it should have a minimum
         version of 4.0.3 to ensure compatibility with the current platform versions. Installing the

even though when I check /.meteor/local/cordova-build/plugins/ it looks like the correct and more recent versions of the plugins are in fact installed.

I was also able to build successfully for Android targeting API 25 using Android SDK tools v26.0.2. This probably means that these issues are also resolved: #8408 #8424 #8464

Fully merged into release-1.5.2. Thanks again!
