Allow --hostname with --net=host 

Docker creates a UTS namespace by default, even with --net=host, so it
is reasonable to let the user set the hostname. Note that --hostname is
forbidden if the user specifies --uts=host.

The UTS namespace is for setting the hostname and the domain that is visible
to running processes in that namespace. By default, all containers, including
those with `--net=host`, have their own UTS namespace. The `host` setting will
result in the container using the same UTS namespace as the host.

`--hostname` is invalid in `host` UTS mode.
You may wish to share the UTS namespace with the host if you would like the
hostname of the container to change as the hostname of the host changes. A
more advanced use case would be changing the host's hostname from a container.

With the network set to `host` a container will share the host's

network mode a container has its own UTS namespace by default. As such
`--hostname` is allowed in `host` network mode and will only change the
hostname inside the container.
Compared to the default `bridge` mode, the `host` mode gives *significantly*
better networking performance since it uses the host's native networking stack
