Some programs (e.g. xpra) create files based on the hostname and it'd be
useful to have control of this parameter.
There's another reason to have custom hostnames within the container as
well. From the guix manual[1]:

Right now my hostname is leaking to the container and that is certainly a
hint to my main persona.
