wanted: a supported equivalent of sb-unix:unix-gethostname

[Jim Prewett]

I cannot find a supported equivalent of sb-unix:unix-gethostname.

[Stas Boukarev (stassats)]

A standard CL function, MACHINE-INSTANCE.

We should still document this properly. The current docstring doesn't promise this explicitly, the manual offers no pointers, and apropos is useless.

Also, does our sb-win32:get-computer-name work like gethostname on windows? If not, then we do want to have sb-posix:gethostname or something.
