BGP: Add support for BGP hostname capability

This is an implementation of draft-walton-bgp-hostname-capability-02.
It is implemented since quite some time for FRR and in datacenter, this
gives a nice output to avoid using IP addresses.

It is disabled by default. The hostname is retrieved from uname(2) and
can be overriden with "hostname" option. The domain name is never set
nor displayed.
