Bug Description

I have a carefully groomed reverse-DNS setup at home. Device discovery shows me those devices as things like 'unknown-Elitegroup Computer Systems Co., Ltd.-73-e8-42' when there is a reverse name 'doorway.mallards'. It would be nice to see that reflected in the discovery and prompted by default in the node creation flow.

Nice idea. I'm not sure if it's appropriate for 2.1.1 since it might require more major changes than we'd like for a point release, but we can look into it.

The team felt comfortable with this change even though it was a rather large one for a point release, so I went ahead and re-targeted it for MAAS 2.1.
