Subject: [PATCH] network/dhclient-script: set FQDN

When booting with nfsroot, dracut doesn't necessarily set the initial

hostname correctly.

According to dhcp-options(5), the name may or may not be qualified with

the local domain. It goes on to say "it is preferable to use the

domain-name option to specify the domain name".

So dhclient-script needs to be able to handle the cases: a) where

host-name is fully qualified and domain name is also specified; b)

where hostname is fully qualified and the domain is not separately

specified; c) where host-name is "short" and domain-name is also

specified; and d) do its best where host-name is short but domain-name

is not specified.

The dhclient-script in initramfs does not handle case "c", apparently

the preferred situation properly, setting hostname to "short".
