Hostname validation broken with new changes to page turning code

[Martin Olsson]

In the Ubuntu installer, if you specify a hostname for your computer containing an underscore (which is illegal); the installer does show a red warning icon but you can still press "Forward". When you have filled in invalid/illegal data it should not be possible to press "Forward" button at all, that button should be disabled.

See attached screenshot.

Confirmed on Ubiquity 1.5.12. This is almost certainly a result of the changes to ubiquity to have components drive the page turning process. Note that because of this it does not affect incorrect passwords or usernames. The checks on those fields still cause the interface to stay on that page.
