Factory Droid v0.167.0: port-forwarding for droid computers

Factory Droid v0.167.0 adds a droid computer port-forward command to forward ports from a droid computer to the local machine. It also parallelizes startup boot phases, speeds up session search, makes help a full-screen overlay, and ships Windows and Linux fixes.
