[PATCH 1/1] coreutils: fix hostname conflict with other packages

[Chen Qi]

The hostname utility is also provided by busybox and net-tools. So
use alternatives mechanism to manage it in coreutils. Make its priority
higher than busybox. As hostname is not built by default for coreutils,
we make its priority lower than net-tools.
