feat: name and description parameters for npx cap add electron

[mandolyte]

Feature Request

Describe the Feature Request

When the command is run, it creates a package.json with hard-coded values for name and description:

$ cat package.json 
{
  "name": "capacitor-app",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "An Amazing Capacitor App",
... elided ...

And when the packager is run, it generates folders based on the “name” value. This is a request for arguments to set these values so that they don’t have to be edited by hand (or sed in a Github Action).

So something like:
npx cap add electron --name "myApp" --description "A bit of description"

Thanks for your consideration.

Platform Support Requested

• Android
• iOS
• Electron
• Web

Note the --web_dir argument for npx cap init is similar in spirit.

Some notes...

1. The package.json appears to copied here
2. The source shows a similar problem solved for Android by an update function to the copied data here

A similar solution may work for electron... as long as we can access the argument values provided by the user.

For the name, it should use the name on capacitor.config.json, so that's a bug.
