tree-wide: use "hostname" spelling everywhere
It's not that I think that "hostname" is vastly superior to "host name". Quite the opposite — the difference is small, and in some context the two-word version does fit better. But in the tree, there are ~200 occurrences of the first, and >1600 of the other, and consistent spelling is more important than any particular spelling choice.
