Description

# Bug Report
On a conversation on slack it turned out, that plugin-Tags and engine-Tags are deprecated to use in config.xml. It should be clear for the user, that these tags are deprecated and they should be only maintained by the package.json-File.

## Problem
There is no hint, that these tags are deprecated. The documentation don't say anything, nor the cli.
Some old users could still use the plugin- and engine-Tags in the config.xml and could be wondered what is the right way.

### What is expected to happen?
There should be somewhere a hint, that these tags are deprecated.

### What does actually happen?
There is nowhere a hint, that these tags are deprecated.

## Checklist

- [ ] I searched for existing GitHub issues
- [ ] I updated all Cordova tooling to most recent version
- [ ] I included all the necessary information above

Research direction

Start by locating the config.xml handling for plugin-Tags and engine-Tags, then check where the related documentation and CLI messages are defined. Done means users are clearly told these tags are deprecated and that package.json is the maintained source.
