Change the server-side profilers to use their own host objects, instead
of trying to re-use existing ones. Using existing ones was making them
unreliable since we avoided using Host objects with "normal" autotest
installs associated with them to avoid conflicts, so sometimes your
hosts would get used, sometimes not, and it's non-obvious from a user
point of view. So instead we change the profilers to look and what
hostnames are in use and then create their own Host objects.
However, this led to another problem, namely that the host classes
themselves have a dependency on the profiler module and so now we have
a circular dependency. To get around this I extracted the crashinfo
and crashdump collection into a separate module, server.crashcollect.
Risk: High
Visibility: Make server-side profilers run much more reliably.
