1230463 - Add a UDEV file to B2G for easy environment set up

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

Description

[Adam Farden [:adfad666]]

Our build instructions tell us to edit this file (51-android.rules), but don't tell us where to get it from! Google's list limits usage to one user. CyanogenMod's list is embedded in a Wiki. If we have our own file we can set up everything in a single command for all users.

Based on http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html#VendorIds plus some extra used by CM devices

Good to me but I would prefer the doc at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/Building_and_installing_Firefox_OS/Establish_a_Build_Environment#Configure_USB_access to refer to the local checkout of the user and avoid feeding bad habits of the "wget | sudo" scheme :)

The contents look ok to me, but I usually avoid prefixing the udev file with a number to force the rule to run last. Often times, the user's distro will have rules which run afterwards which can undo the adb rules. Instructions that I write explicitly leave out the number, but people end up thinking it's an omission and put it back..
