I'll soon be landing a change to ubuntu-device-flash that will change the
syntax a bit.

Mind you before any hair is lost by the sdk or ci folk that I've already
been in talks with zbenjamin and plars and the cases they have are
backwards compatible.

The change is basically positional commands, now needing a 'touch' added to
the command (implicitly selected for now for the common use cases)

    ubuntu-device-flash touch ...

I've also moved the querying options that were all crammed together to

    ubuntu-device-flash query


No command assumes 'touch' and passes all the args to that command and
prints out a deprecated message.

Additionally, since I never wanted people using --developer-mode except for
ci related tasks, a message has been added that says that all security
features may be lost if used on your device. This will be more of a true
case when the final security features for adb land into the image. New
emulator instances are also covered by this.

I'm leaving this in vivid to settle for a bit before migrating it to
ppa:phablet-team/tools so for most people, it's just an fyi.
