[pve-devel] [PATCH proxmox v4 2/2] network-types: add hostname type

Add a type for representing Linux hostnames. It enforces the same
constraints as the installer enforces [1], which are in turn taken
from the requirements Debian has for hostnames.

Notes:
    sending this separately because this contains the new types, that
    haven't been a part of proxmox-ve-rs before.
    
    Changes from v3 (thanks @Wolfgang):
    * improved validation logic
    * moved hostname to a specific debian module
    * added additional TryFrom implementations
    * added a unit test with a non-ASCII alphanumeric character
    
    Changes from v2:
    * improved hostname validation (thanks @Maximiliano @Christoph)
    * added additional unit tests
    
    Changes from v1:
    * added unit tests
