Use Node.js platform identifiers

See original GitHub issue

electron-builder should use Node.js platform identifiers just like electron-packager does.

So the platform options win and osx should become win32 and darwin.

@justinmchase Both will be supported. So, electron-builder will be still drop-in replacement of electron-packager and logical for nodejs developers accustomed to these identifiers. But for me and other confused users it will allow to use osx/win.

@stefanjudis I am going to allow use osx instead of darwin and win instead of win32 in the platform arg. See #301 “win and osx are a lot more user-friendly.”

to avoid inconsistency, we can introduce new option os and use it instead of platform (deprecate it).

Yeah, os is much clear, but I don’t want to disturb our users and rename/deprecate. For now, we can just allow to use osx/win.
