Description

Currently when liveview writes its pidfile (at ~/.titanium), it only contains the path of the project, we should write more data to this (ip, fport, eport etc.) so that commands like stop/restart can function if the user defines a custom ip or port. It would probably make sense to turn this file into a json object like below

{
    "projectPath": "<path to project>",
    "ip": "127.0.0.1",
    "eport": "1234",
    "fport": "1235",
    "alloy: true,
    "platform": "android"
}

Removing from current sprint as this will only be testable once we update liveview in the SDK, when we do that we can pull this ticket back into the sprint for qe
