    qga: Use qemu_get_host_name() instead of g_get_host_name()
    
    Problem with g_get_host_name() is that on the first call it saves
    the hostname into a global variable and from then on, every
    subsequent call returns the saved hostname. Even if the hostname
    changes. This doesn't play nicely with guest agent, because if
    the hostname is acquired before the guest is set up (e.g. on the
    first boot, or before DHCP) we will report old, invalid hostname.
