Default hostname is nonsensical

[Daniel van Vugt]

The default value for "Your computer's name" is nonsensical in the Flutter installer, but correct in the legacy installer. Screenshots can be found in https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-desktop-installer/issues/2394

I can't reproduce this with the latest installer.

Yes it's still happening in 20240325, but I just figured out the mistake. The installer is using the 'Version' field for the default hostname when it should be using the 'Product Name' field instead (like the legacy installer did):

$ sudo dmidecode -t1
