brilloemulator arm/arm64: document qemu pipe status
Since we can't yet use the qemu pipe, document the reasons for it, and the networking related workarounds we have in place (forwarding tcp port 5555). Change-Id: If0c91578f2b6baf8560432a909103e4aebc3e240

+The main android emulator uses the goldfish/ranchu board, but that arm target
+isn't in upstream, nor in the kernel we currently utilize. Instead, we use
+the Versatile Express board as our target in the kernel and qemu. Hopefully
+one day the goldfish/ranchu targets will get upstreamed.
+
+This has some ramifications for us. Namely, we do not have access to the qemu
+helpers like the goldfish pipe. That in turn means we access adb over a local
+TCP forwarded port.
