CB-9172 Improved emulator deploy stability. This closes #188.

- Use UUID to distinguish between launched emulators
- Wait for android.process.acore instead of init.svc.bootanim on emulator boot
- Increased retry timeout when installing app to the emulator
- If there is already a started/starting emulator, wait for it's boot instead of trying to deploy to it right away
