Implement automating parsing for and caching XML details
Description
Currently these details have to be manually supplied. It ideally should grab the XML details once and just cache it. These details are mainly for getting things like a Joomla plugins folder, element, etc.. Either cache into hidden JSON structure or just pre-fill the XML tab parameters. Ideally this should be hidden to avoid adding more configuration than necessary. This should only cache once with option to recache.

Best way to handle this would be to update the XML cache when backend package is saved. That'd give the cleanest and simplest approach and avoid needing additional manual configuration.

Do this during version parsing. Update the metadata anytime a new version is detected. In addition to this capture the platform and platform version. These should be added to new version table columns: platform | platform_version
The reason for this is to allow filtering on these and allow for a single package to be compatible with multiple platform versions allowing the filter dropdown to properly return compatible versions.
