v1 auto installs older version of cordova-plugin-splashscreen

[rolinger]

When starting a new v1 app, Ionic v1 is adding cordova-plugin-splashscreen (v4.0.3), however, that plugin is now updated to 5.0.3 which brings fixes for specific iOS and Android splashscreen issues.

Please update the build to include the latest release of splashscreen.

splashscreen 5.0.3 fixes iOS issues with splash screen images. Not certain if there are any real fixes for Android environment as I never had any issues with 4.0.3. Regardless, after a new project build:

cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-splashscreen

Then

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-splashscreen
