Subject: [PATCH] Added a `root` option to the `run-android` command

Summary:Added a `root` option to the `run-android` command allowing to run it from a parent directory.

Use case: project is organized like this
```
- api
- apps
---- web
---- react-native
- package.json
```
You can use the root option on `react-native start` but not on `run-android`. This pr fixes that.
Closes https://github.com/facebook/react-native/pull/5597
