Comments and whitespace are silently discarded

E.g.:

$ cordova create test
Creating a new cordova project.
$ cd test
$ sed -i 's|<content src="index.html" />|<content src="index.html" /> <!-- my very important comment -->|' config.xml
$ npx cordova-set-version -v 1.2.3 config.xml
$ cat config.xml | grep important
<no output>

Less bad, but still annoying, is that all whitespace (e.g. line breaks to group related sections in the file) is ignored, and the file is reformatted according to some beauty ideal.

Unfortunately this is not supported by xml2js that's being used to parse and build XML. I've tried changing the options for parsing and building the XML, but the comments and whitespace are still not preserved. I've also tested a few other libraries, but sadly none of them worked out.

This means that the parsing and writing part of this library would have to be changed quite heavily. Sadly I don't have much time on my hands to dive into this, but I'm happy to accept a pull request.
