[PATCH] Send hostname as part of DHCP request.

[mjohnson459@gmail.com]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2091 bytes --]

This is based on a previous patch by Roberto Santalla Fernández.

A new config is introduced into the network config file under IPv4
called SendHostname. If this is set to true then we add the hostname
into all DHCP requests. The default is false.
