CLI: suggested change to "platform ls" command
I had two issues submitted recently, for suggestions to tweaking that
particular command/api:
[1]: remove the explicit "ls" command
[2]: have "platform(s)" by itself be the ls command, and expand on what it
returns. Not only the currently-installed platforms for a project, but
also which platforms are available and unavailable to install (I.e. Ones
where the check_requirements script passes/fails).
Thoughts?

I think cordova platforms by itself is enough. Why not leave ls but respond correctly if ls isn't included on the command line.

Here's another take that, after discussing with Mike Brooks about, makes
more sense: introducing a `supports` API, something like:
cordova platform supports android
AND
cordova supports android
Both would invoke the same thing: essentially shelling out to
./bin/check_reqs for each platform. From an API standpoint for downstream
distributions, this makes sense.
Perhaps tying `cordova platform ls` into this functionality makes sense..

Great idea to expand the output.
I do prefer the explicit `ls` and would rather have the default be --help.
Given that, `ls` is harmless, so I don't much mind.

I think [1] is up to the command patterns that cordova-cli uses. As far as
I know, it doesn't use any other shortcuted commands. "ls" is not a highly
used command, so a shortcut isn't necessary.
I think [2] make sense to implement.
