in order to run tests on a remote device, we need to have a host controller (usually osx, but could be linux) act as a webserver with xpcshell+httpd.js.  This requires us downloading tests and binaries for the host OS platform, as well as tests for the remote device.  

This gets confusing quickly, but one problem we have found when running this way is we run scripts from the device tests package and they are configured for the device OS (usually linux).  In order to run the webserver, we need to adjust things like the [DY]LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

What I have here is a --host-os option that we can pass into the remote test runner scripts.  This will tell automation.py and other scripts what the host OS is so we can setup the server(s) properly.
this patch adds the --host-os option to runtestsremote.py (mochitest) and remotereftests.py (reftest).  It also fixes some basic devicemanager assignment issues I ran into while testing this on windows

Any chance you can make "mac" and "macosx" permissible as well? It'd simplify the Buildbot integration.
updated patch to auto detect the host os by using sys.platform.  I have tested on win32 and linux successfully.

detect the host os with sys.platform (1.0)

This looks good.  I'm not sure when sys.platform returns "mac" or "linux2" but I think this is the correct approach until we can further refactor the webserver bits into their own package/classes as we have discussed.
