[autotest] autoserv add --lab & --host_attributes arguments
Added two new flags to autoserv.
--lab indicates that autoserv is running in the lab and has
the full Autotest infrastructure at its disposal.
--host_attributes allows host attribute information that is
usually in the database to be retrievable from the command
line arguments.
If --lab is pulled in, autoserv will request the host attributes
from the database at test runtime.
From here this change, then updates the concept of the "machines"
list that test control files receive to now be a list of dicts
that contain the machine hostname and host attributes. This will
enable identifing information the hosts library needs to create
host objects to be available whether or not there is a database
present.
