[pve-devel] [PATCH installer 0/3] run env, auto: fix dhcp hostname/domain retrieval

First two patches fix two small, separate issues w.r.t. the automatic
retrieval of hostname and search domain from the DHCP lease.

First one is a correctness fix for RFC 2132, which specifies that the
hostname in the DHCP lease _can_ also contain a fully-qualified name,
i.e. <hostname>.<domain>. That can easily be stripped.

Second was that in the auto-installer answer file `global.fqdn.domain`
can be set to an empty string, which further down the line causes
parsing failure and the default `<productname>.example.invalid` being
set as system FQDN.

Both were reported by a user on the community forum [0].

Third patch just runs perltidy on the codebase again, fixing up some
recent changes.
