Smartdust CLI client

Documentation: https://docs.smartdust.me/docs/CLI%20Lab%20client/cli-client-1-3

Automation client for connecting to Smartdust Lab devices via adb from a terminal. Designed with the following scenario in mind:

• Connect to remote devices
• Do something with the device via adb (Instrumentation Test, adb install, etc)
• Disconnect from device

Due to it being a console tool, it's very easy to use it for test automation in a CI\CD pipeline, for example in Jenkins.

Allows for filtering by any device description parameter as well as listing all available values of a given parameter e.g. all unique names of devices in the lab instance.
