agent_uuid "hostname" generate a new UUID

[aplanas]

The Python Keylime agent have the option to set agent_uuid = hostname, to set the FQDN as the UUID agent. The Rust version do not implement this feature (but is documented in keylime.conf)

I am looking for a Rust crate that can here, but so far no one is following how Python works (socket.getfqdn that use gethostname and gethostbyaddr from POSIX netdb).

@aplanas Thanks for pointing this out and sorry for the late reply. Our development time on this crate is currently somewhat limited, but I see what you are saying in that this would make sense (especially as it's listed as an option in keylime.conf). We will post updates here about this issue.

Seems that uutils[1], a coreutils write in Rust have an implementation of hostname with fqdn. I will check it and try to backport the logic in rust-keylime.
