nixos: provide /etc/hostname
/etc/hostname is the file used by hostnamectl(1) and the org.freedesktop.hostname1 dbus service (both provided by systemd) to get the "static hostname". Better provide it so that users of those tools/services get a proper hostname. An example of an issue created by the lack of /etc/hostname is that the bluetooth stack on NixOS identifies itself to peers as "BlueZ $VERSION" instead of the hostname. References: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/hostname.html Changes v1 -> v2: * ensure /etc/hostname ends with a newline
