[hobbit] Disabling default tests

[Jeff Newman]

I envision a day where I can click on a host and there are check boxes
for each test and I can just enable/disable any test by clicking the appropriate
check box. This could be expanded to alarms, thresholds, etc...
But as Henrik has already said, the whole html thing needs a re-write anyway.
