[minor] fix *-Info.plist & config.xml functionality

[brodybits]

This is proposed to include and supersede PR #765, as a solution for #764, with some additional fixes and test updates that I think should be included at the same time.

• updates and improvements to unit testing of projectFile parse method, now with xcworkspace included in the "ios-config-xml" fixture
• include all changes from PR Fix error parsing plist_file_entry when adding extension in xcode #765 so far, with possible solution to issue could not find -Info.plist file, or config.xml file after adding extension, cordova build, with FIX #764
• some followup fixes to PR Fix error parsing plist_file_entry when adding extension in xcode #765
• add test cases for the code updated in PR Fix error parsing plist_file_entry when adding extension in xcode #765
• some more general improvements

This proposal should be considered breaking since it now depends on existence of xcworkspace with the correct name. This should have been present in generated platforms/ios project for years.

I have discussed some other related issues with plists in #793, not sure whether or not this proposal would resolve any such related issues.

I would like to have multiple reviews before getting this proposal merged. I think it should be good to merge this with a squash merge, with all co-authored-by credits that I gave in 8dfeedc, maybe with a rebase to cleanup some of the items that will go into the commit message.

closes #765 (PR #765)
resolves #764

@brodybits Is this ticket fixing a bug and also considered to be breaking because you are searching for xcworkspace?

What if you change the xcworkspace search to xcodeproj?

Would this still fix the issue and change the PR's type from breaking to patch or minor?

Of corse the conflict will also need to be corrected.

There is a patch release (6.0.1) being prepared. If this PR is resolving a bug and can be altered to be a patch instead of breaking, you might be able to get this PR in.

You could still create a second breaking PR after this is merged into master to change only the xcodeproj to xcworkspace...

[brodybits]

The good news is that I would no longer consider this to be a breaking change. If I would remove the xcworkspace file and then build from the command line, it results in an error from xcodebuild. (I was able to remove the xcworkspace file and then build & run from Xcode, which I think is a side point.)

I do think this is too much change for a patch, though, should probably target a minor release.

I did try merging. The changes did not seem to work after merging, and some of the tests need rework due to removing shelljs. I think we should really rebase and rework. I will try to fit this in as soon as I can.

I now wonder if <apache/cordova-common/pull/148> may be related

[Menardi]

@brodybits I can confirm that the PR you mentioned does not fix this issue, as I am still seeing this in cordova-ios@6.1.1. Though the cause of the issues is the same (having multiple Info.plist) files, their fixes are separate.

[Menardi]

I've noticed we have a getIOSProjectname function in cordova-common, maybe you could use it here?
