Let's clean up hostname_is_valid() a bit: let's turn the second boolean argument into a more explanatory flags field, and add a flag that accepts the special name ".host" as valid. This is useful for the container logic, where the special hostname ".host" refers to the "root container", i.e. the host system itself, and can be specified at various places. let's also get rid of machine_name_is_valid(). It was just an alias, which is confusing and even more so now that we have the flags param.
