server-start error due to multiple profiles

Reopening issue #29

We should reopen the above issue which was closed as the author did not give details. I see the same issue because I have a work profile installed on my phone so I have multiple users. Doing a "pm list packages" tries to list all packages from all users and adb doesn't have permissions to the work profile.

> adb shell pm list packages
Exception occurred while executing 'list':
java.lang.SecurityException: Shell does not have permission to access user 11

> adb shell pm list users
Users:
        UserInfo{0:Kunal Kapoor:4c13} running
        UserInfo{11:Work profile:1030} running
        UserInfo{150:Secure Folder:10061030} running

The solution to this is to use the default user explicitly. This cannot be done in the adb daemon directly (atleast I don't know how).

> adb shell pm list packages --user 0

Try it and let me know.

Had the same issue, the commit 1a2079e fixes it 👍🏻

Great. Will merge to master after some additional testing.
