Subject: [PATCH] Make it clear Android emulator is the quickest way to get
 started

Summary: A lot of people try to use a device as the very first thing when trying
out React Native. I've observed this at the developer workshop in Prague
and on Twitter.

However, developing on pre-API 21 devices is quite involved:
https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/running-on-device-android.html

I'm thinking we could recommend installing Android together with Android
studio. Android studio installs HAXM for you (hardware acceleration, without
this Google emulators are useless) and also creates and starts emulators.
So it would be quite a smooth experience similar to pressing 'Run' in Xcode.

We'd just need to integrate with Gradle so that installing the app also starts
the packager. I think that's something we should do in any case.

Probably an even better option is to build a React Native-specific tool that
lets you do everything you need: opens the Android SDK Manager, creates and
starts emulators, detects whether you have Genymotion and opens it, upgrades
node and npm etc.
