hostname in metadata ends with . if dhcp_domain flag is empty

[melanie witt]

When the instance hostname is set in the metadata, the format is assumed to be:

metadata['hostname'] = "%s.%s" % (self.instance['hostname'], FLAGS.dhcp_domain)
(from https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/api/metadata/base.py#L166 and https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/nova/api/metadata/base.py#L293)

This typically results in a hostname e.g. "my.hostname.launchpad.net.novalocal" but if dhcp_domain = "", the hostname would get set as "my.hostname.launchpad.net." with a trailing dot instead of the expected "my.hostname.launchpad.net".

    handles empty dhcp_domain with hostname in metadata

    Fixes bug 1064713.

    Currently hostname in metadata is created by concatenating the
    instance hostname with the dhcp_domain. When dhcp_domain is empty,
    it results in a hostname with a trailing dot.
