Per-host / per-os settings

[jacobdufault]

Currently, settings can be customized per-language

{
  "[cpp]": {
    "editor.codeLens": true
  }
}

It'd be great to extend this to also support hostname and os name, ie,

{
  "[host:home]": {
    "cquery.launch.command": "cquery.exe"
  },

  "[os:linux]": {
    "editor.smoothScrolling": true
  }
}

Making this work with arbitrary context-keys would be great as well, but host/os should get most of the cases.
