Request: Don't add build version numbers if they don't exist in config.xml

[FBNitro]

Would be nice to have a flag or individual options to not add the build number for specific operating systems to config.xml. For example, I currently don't use the android-versionCode, or osx-CFBundleVersion, I only use the ios-CFBundleVersion. I want android to use the version to construct the versionCode, instead of specifying it myself.

When I run the CLI, the android and osx versions are added in, but I don't want them added.

My original widget line:
<widget id="myapp" ios-CFBundleVersion="100" version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0">

CLI call:
cordova-set-version -v 1.0.2 -b 102

Resulting widget line:
<widget id="myapp" ios-CFBundleVersion="102" version="1.0.2" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0" android-versionCode="102" osx-CFBundleVersion="102">

This is an interesting idea and leads to a feature I thought about before - the ability to set build number per platform. So it wouldn't be about not adding new attributes, but about setting specific ones. That would open a lot more future options.

Unfortunately I don't have the time to undertake such a big change, but you're welcome to submit a PR.

@gligoran Would love to be able to set build numbers per platform and not automatically apply the build to all 3 platforms

I see you continue to maintain and develop this package, any chance you could look into adding this now?

Also, it would be nice if you could auto-increment the build and not have to pass it a value, if no value passed then it would just do +1 to whatever platform you designate

Hey @vesper8.

I see you've opened another issue for this, so I'll answer there (#267).

This is a good idea. I'm thinking about adding flags like [--ios-build-number|-bios], [--android-build-number|-ba], etc., which would set the version only for that specific platform, while [-b|--build-number] would still write in all of them.

I've just done some refactoring of the project that opens up the possibility of adding new arguments/flags, but still needs some further work. The main problem is that with each added argument the complexity of tests increases a lot and I need 100% coverage to be able to run automatic releases and automatic dependency updates.

I'll update this ticket when there some further updates.
