Description

The use case involves use of two initialized instances of FirebaseApp, one for the emulator and another for an actual project. Specifically, it's desirable to programmatically copy data from one to the other without having to export then import separately.

Currently, the Admin SDK requires that an env var is set with host and port in order to connect to the emulator. This is unnecessarily complex when it comes time to init the app. For example, using Auth and Firestore together (and potentially more products) requires code like this:

```js
import { initializeApp } from "firebase-admin/app"
import { getAuth } from "firebase-admin/auth"
import { getFirestore } from "firebase-admin/firestore"

export const remote = initializeApp()
export const remoteAuth = getAuth(remote)
export const remoteFirestore = getFirestore(remote)

process.env.FIRESTORE_EMULATOR_HOST = 'localhost:8080'
export const local = initializeApp(undefined, "local")
export const localAuth = getFirestore(local)
export const localFirestore = getFirestore(local)
delete process.env.FIRESTORE_EMULATOR_HOST
```

The use of the temporary env var is clunky here, and it would be more straightforward if there was a dedicated function that allowed the caller to pass the host and port instead:

```js
const host, port = ...
export const local = initializeEmulatorApp(host, port, "local")
export const localAuth = getFirestore(local)
export const localFirestore = getFirestore(local)
```

Either that, or something similar to the way the web and mobile clients work for connecting to the emulator.
