[Resent as v2 as former patch didn't apply anymore]
Currently, the hostname is sent in a DHCP request only if configured
explicitely.
Changing this behaviour so that the hostname is sent per default has the
advantage
that e.g. a Fritz!Box (acting as DHCP server) shows the device running OpenWRT
with it's hostname in the network overview.
To prevent sending a hostname at all (and to be backwards compatible) the
configuration option can be set to "none".
