I think this function call should be moved to
https://github.com/MSOpenTech/cordova-lib/blob/CB-9051/cordova-lib/src/cordova/platform.js#L174,
because the 'addHelper' function is used both by the 'cordova platform add'
and 'cordova platform update'. and it is our intention to only do this file
deletion when we are performing an 'add' operation.
Another reason might be that we should be doing this file deletion close to
the 'installPluginsForTheNewPlatform' function call, to minimize the risk of
getting in an inconsistent state where the file has already been deleted even
though the 'add' operation ends up throwing an exception down the line.
