[pve-devel] [PATCH proxmox v2 2/2] network-types: add hostname type

Add a type for representing Linux hostnames. These are the same
constraints as the installer enforces [1]. Lowercasing is fine as
well, since practically everything treats hostnames case-insensitively
as RFC 952 stipulates:
> No distinction is made between upper and lower case.

Notes:
sending this separately because this contains the new types, that
haven't been a part of proxmox-ve-rs before.
Changes from v1:
* added unit tests
