Add build type option to release cordova command (#409)

* Improved messages to make intention of creating different apps for different platforms more clear

Due to multiple requests in discord chanel, microsoft/react-native-code-push#723, microsoft/react-native-code-push#717

* Add ability to specify build type for Cordova
Also fixes issue #392

* revert changes not related to this PR

* Minor tweak for readme

* Reordered param names for cordova-release command in Readme alphabetically

 The `release-cordova` command is a Cordova-specific version of the "vanilla" [`release`](#releasing-app-updates) command, which supports all of the same parameters (e.g. `--mandatory`, `--description`), yet simplifies the process of releasing updates by performing the following additional behavior:

 ## Debugging CodePush Integration
 
 Once you've released an update, and the Cordova or React Native plugin has been integrated into your app, it can be helpful to diagnose how the plugin is behaving, especially if you run into an issue and want to understand why. In order to debug the CodePush update discovery experience, you can run the following command in order to easily view the diagnostic logs produced by the CodePush plugin within your app:
