Add support for app launching #3

Right now I use this adb command to boot up Plex automatically:

adb shell am start com.plexapp.mediaserver.smb/com.plexapp.mediaserver.ui.main.MainActivity

It'd be nice to add this functionality in android-tv-remote, maybe with:

android-tv-remote --host x.x.x.x --launch "com.plexapp.mediaserver.smb/com.plexapp.mediaserver.ui.main.MainActivity"

(this would allow, together with #2, to have automations that turn on the TV and automatically launch a given app)

This is a great idea, thanks! I'll have to think how to implement it properly for a nice user-experience (like checking if TV is off and turning it on automatically if required before launching an app) but I'll definitely code it in the coming week or so.
