config-file tag removed from config.xml is not removed from appxmanifest

Bug Report

Problem

What is expected to happen?

Removing a <config-file> element from the config.xml should be reflected in the AppxManifest.xml / package.*.appxmanifest file after running the build command.

What does actually happen?

Having for example this configuration in the main config.xml:

<platform name="windows">
        <config-file parent="/Package/Capabilities" target="package.appxmanifest">
            <Capability Name="allJoyn" />
        </config-file>
    </platform>

And then removing this element and building the application with cordova build windows -- --archs="x64" will:

• Update the platforms\windows\config.xml correctly
• Not remove the according element from the platforms\windows\windows.json file
• Not remove the according Capability element from the package.*.appxmanifest files

Information

Environment, Platform, Device

Windows 10

Version information

Cordova 8.1.2 Cordova-windows 6.0.1 and 7.0.0

Might be related to #336. Not sure if this is a bug or if I am expected to readd the platform after making changes to the config.xml file... in case of the latter, feel free to close these two issues...

Similar to https://github.com/apache/cordova-windows/issues/336 I can also not reproduce this: https://github.com/apache/cordova-windows/issues/336#issuecomment-508737522

platforms/windows/windows.json has some leftovers of the munges, but that seems harmless:

    "files": {
      "package.phone.appxmanifest": {
        "parents": {
          "/Package/Capabilities": []
        }
      },
      "package.windows.appxmanifest": {
        "parents": {
          "/Package/Capabilities": []
        }
      },
      "package.windows10.appxmanifest": {
        "parents": {
          "/Package/Capabilities": []
        }
      }
    }

(Again, using Cordova CLI 9 for testing.)
