[libvirt] [PATCH 2/2] lxc: set a hostname based on the container name

[Cédric Bosdonnat]

Set a transient hostname on containers. The hostname is computed from
the container name, only keeping the valid characters [a-zA-Z0-9-] in it.
This filtering is based on RFC 1123 and allows a digit to start the
hostname.
