Remove Windows platform from plugin.xml to allow install on cordova >9

@katzer, could you, please, merge this request and release a new version. Cordova CLI 9 fails to install current version, so, I guess, all CIs in the world are failing to build the projects using this plugin now.

It seems a bit extreme to completely remove the windows platform(maybe people still use it) to fix plugin install under cordova 9?

I'm not under cordova 9 yet but isn't there a different solution? I saw this #441 (comment)

I would agree, but as far as I can see in plugin.xml the whole configuration section related to windows is commented out anyway. I guess that's the reason why install fails: it sees the "engine" line, but there is nothing more.

It's not a big problem if you are building the project locally, but I needed to make it work with the Ionic Package service, where install gets the original version. I ended up adding a "before_platform_add" hook that removes the plugin, adds it back (to download it without "install"), and then uses sed to remove the "engine" line from the plugin.xml file.
