    ### Platforms affected
    
    iOS 4.3.1 and below
    
    ### What does this PR do?
    
    In `cordova-ios@4.3.1` and below, the Xcode build destination when building for a simulator is hardcoded as "iPhone 5s". This works as long as the user has an iPhone 5s simulator installed, but if they remove it, the build process breaks.
    
    This PR follows the same logic as `cordova emulate ios` in choosing a default destination, but also respects `--target` if specified. For example:
    
    ```
        $ cordova emulate ios       # will currently select iPhone SE simulator to build against and emulate
        $ cordova emulate ios --target="iPhone-7-Plus"  # will build against and emulate on the iPhone 7+
    ```
    
    If there are no simulators available, the behavior is undefined, but Xcode wouldn't be able to build either.
    
    ### What testing has been done on this change?
    
    Manual tests and `npm test`
    
    ### Checklist
    - [X] [Reported an issue](http://cordova.apache.org/contribute/issues.html) in the JIRA database
    - [X] Commit message follows the format: "CB-3232: (android) Fix bug with resolving file paths", where CB-xxxx is the JIRA ID & "android" is the platform affected.
    - [X] Added automated test coverage as appropriate for this change.
        - Note: a couple of tests were modified so that they could pass, but they don't actually test this issue. Tests covering the inner logic will come in a separate PR

> A few days ago I loaded up the XCode Devices menu and deleted a bunch of simulators. I wanted to get rid of old ones and try to get both Cordova and Ionic defaulting to a modern simulator. I didn't delete everything of course, but I did delete a bunch.
> Now I am unable to emulate. When I make a vanilla project, add ios (version is 4.3.1) and do cordova emulate ios, i get:
> xcodebuild: error: Unable to find a destination matching the provided destination specifier:
> 		{ platform:iOS Simulator, OS:latest, name:iPhone 5s }
> 	The requested device could not be found because no available devices matched the request.
> 	Available destinations for the "HelloCordova" scheme:
> I can't even target another emulator. If I open the xcodeproj file though I can run it just fine from XCode.
> I noticed that /cordova/lib/start-emulator has this:
> DEFAULT_TARGET="iPhone 5s"
> I don't know why. I tried changing it, just for the heck of it, and I *still* get the same error.
> So... any ideas?
