Support -H or -L like adb to specify hostname

[jeanlego]

Setup

• The device is connected via usb (no internet access possible)
• I am running an adb server on a remote machine
• I am getting an adb shell on my dev machine using adb -H <hostname> shell succesfully.

[ android ] -- usb --- [ adb server ] ---  Lan  --- [ dev machine ]

Request

I was wondering if there was anyway to specify the hostname of the adb server to reproduce the same behavior without requiring an SSH tunnel with port fowarding as others have used.

 -H         name of adb server host [default=localhost]
 -L SOCKET  listen on given socket for adb server [default=tcp:localhost:5037]

EDIT: i see now

The tunnel does work the same, so, while this is still valid, I don't think there is much value to it after thinking it through.
I don't know how much work it would be to connect to a specified host vs localhost.
I'd be willing to give it a shot if someone knows it wouldn't be too too involved

You can do the equivalent of -H with ADB_SERVER_SOCKET. See #144 (comment)
