In an attempt to clean up the talos configuration world I've come up with this:

- entirely get rid of config.py
- move everything into sample.config
- normalize all paths in sample.config to be workable across platforms (ie, a path of 'pageloader/chrome' will be correctly interpreted as 'pageloader\chrome' on windows)
- to handle the different counter options under different platforms created win_counters and unix_counters, which are correctly used depending on the system
- add a --debug option and get that out of the config file

So, as long as things are installed in the 'standard' locations you should be able to run talos across win/mac/linux using the same sample.config.  The only change that you should have to make is the name of firefox (as it will be firefox.exe on windows and firefox on unix style systems).  If this last requirement would get in the way it could be hacked to guess the correct name for a firefox executable on different systems.

I'm hoping that this will help alleviate the problem of managing config files for multiple systems/configurations.

Everything in the patch looks good. I'd like to test it out for myself on all 3 platforms before giving it an r+.

For Buildbot purposes the firefox executable path is unimportant, it gets overriden by PerfConfigurator.py anyways.

I'm going to test this out Monday morning, so you'll probably have an r+ when you come online ;)

sample.config cross platform work

Running fine on all three platforms.

One thing I noticed about Linux is that during ts it throws "WARNING: can't start counter manager", presumably because by the time talos is done sleeping firefox is already closed. Seems to work fine, though.
