adb: Use uid to limit logcat to the current application (#131)

Having never really understood how Android Studio does it, I just
stumbled upon this very new [stackoverflow answer] that has a rather
beatiful solution to the current problems with `pidof`, without
drawbacks.  Pidof has always been flaky as it relies on the app to be
running, which may either take some time or never happen if the app
crashed before `pidof` is first run.  This results in silly workarounds
such as loops that induce extra delay and need to have an upper bound.
And this `pid` changes every time the app is restarted, making it a
tedious process that also doesn't react to manual app restarts on the
device.  Retrieving the `uid` via `pm list packages -U` on the other
hand, and passing that to `logcat --uid` has the following advantages:

- Always available immediately after the app has been installed, no need
  to check it in a loop (no extra delay);
- Doesn't change after the app is (re!)installed, unless the user fully
  deletes and installs the app again;
- Is resilient against app crashes because of that, and allows the user
  to see any error/crash related messages straight away;
- Still includes logs printed by other system components that run or are
  invoked within an app, as before.
