Add parameter to configure number of threads used in device operations

[royclarkson]

Some platforms may not be able to support a large number of concurrent
device operations. Set 'android.deviceThreads' to limit the number
threads available in the thread pool. By default the thread pool size
is based on the number of attached devices.

I consistently experience a java.io.IOException when attempting to deploy and test on more than four attached devices. This is any combination of physical devices and emulators. If there are more than four devices reported by the Android Debug Bridge, then the parallel execution of device functions will fail with the following exception. I've tested on three different macs running various versions of Java. Unfortunately, I don't have a windows or linux machine available for testing.

    Install of test.apk failed.

I also ran into this issue. We were running 6 devices on a mac-mini with osx and experienced very frequent "broken pipes". We then switched to another mac-mini running ubuntu and the frequency of this exception reduced but it still happens from time to time.

Thanks. Looks good. I expect you both to test this once its all merged ;-)

@mosabua thanks! will do.
