Platforms affected
Android
Motivation and Context
Solves confusion as the current error message suggest they can install any newer version when that is often not the case.
Fixes #1391
Description
Removes text such as "or higher" / "or later" which suggest that the user can install any version later. Instead of attempting to explain that they need a specific major version, I reworded the text to suggest/recommend installing the default build tools version in which Cordova is tested against. Advanced users can still install alternate versions if they know what they are doing and the risks involved.
Testing
Ran npm test and manually tested by uninstalling build tools and trying to build.
Note: npm test will fail due to the lack of build tools version installed.
