autotest: Allow setting CPU governor from server tests

The autotest_lib.client.bin.utils package provides various functions
for setting and restoring the CPU governor of a client system. This
change modifies these functions to allow a custom host to be
specified. The default behavior of these functions remains unchanged.

BUG=chromium:860844
TEST=Ran video_PlaybackPerf.vp8 test to ensure that a regular call to
     ensure that a regular call to set_high_performance_mode would
     still work.
TEST=Made calls to set_high_performance_mode and
     restore_scaling_governor_states from video_HangoutHardwarePerf test
     to ensure that calls to those functions will still work without
     change, despite the move from bin.utils to common_lib.utils.
TEST=Manually tested with modified server test to ensure that the
     functions work when specifying a remote host.

Autotest: Automated integration testing for Android and Chrome OS Devices

Autotest is a framework for fully automated testing. It was originally designed to test the Linux kernel, and expanded by the Chrome OS team to validate complete system images of Chrome OS and Android.

Autotest is composed of a number of modules that will help you to do stand alone tests or setup a fully automated test grid, depending on what you are up to. A non extensive list of functionality is:

  • A body of code to run tests on the device under test. In this setup, test logic executes on the machine being tested, and results are written to files for later collection from a development machine or lab infrastructure.

  • A body of code to run tests against a remote device under test. In this setup, test logic executes on a development machine or piece of lab infrastructure, and the device under test is controlled remotely via SSH/adb/some combination of the above.

  • Developer tools to execute one or more tests. test_that for Chrome OS and test_droid for Android allow developers to run tests against a device connected to their development machine on their desk. These tools are written so that the same test logic that runs in the lab will run at their desk, reducing the number of configurations under which tests are run.

  • Lab infrastructure to automate the running of tests. This infrastructure is capable of managing and running tests against thousands of devices in various lab environments. This includes code for both synchronous and asynchronous scheduling of tests. Tests are run against this hardware daily to validate every build of Chrome OS.

  • Infrastructure to set up miniature replicas of a full lab. A full lab does entail a certain amount of administrative work which isn't appropriate for a work group interested in automated tests against a small set of devices. Since this scale is common during device bringup, a special setup, called Moblab, allows a natural progressing from desk -> mini lab -> full lab.
