[Freeipa-devel] [PATCH 0024][Tests] Fix integration tests not to produce incorrect /etc/hosts file

[Oleg Fayans]

In fact, I believe /etc/hosts file should not be touched at all.
Hostname resolution is usually governed by the DNS system of the lab in
which tests are running. We do not modify it when perform tests
manually, so I'd rather remove this method at all.
