/etc/hostname is the file used by hostnamectl(1) and the
org.freedesktop.hostname1 dbus service (both provided by systemd) to get
the "static hostname". Better provide it so that users of those
tools/services get a proper hostname.
An example of an issue created by the lack of /etc/hostname is that the
bluetooth stack on NixOS identifies itself to peers as "BlueZ $VERSION"
instead of the hostname.

Changes v1 -> v2:
* ensure /etc/hostname ends with a newline
Test that adding physical devices to containers works, find that network setup
then doesn't work because there is no udev in the container to tell systemd
that the device is present.
Fixed by not depending on the device in the container.
Activate the new container test for release
Bonds, bridges and other network devices need the underlying not as
dependency when used inside the container. Because the device is already
there.
But the address configuration needs the aggregated device itself.
Using types.str doesn't work if you want to mkBefore/mkAfter across
different module definitions, because it only allows for one definition
for the same priority.
This is especially useful if you deploy Hetzner machines via NixOps,
because the physical specification already defines localCommands.

Configuration option for setting up virtual WLAN interfaces.
If the hardware NIC supports it, then multiple virtual WLAN interfaces can be
configured through the options of the new 'networking.wlanInterfaces' module.
For example, the following configuration transforms the device with the persistent
udev name 'wlp6s0' into a managed and a ad hoc device with the device names
'wlan-managed0' and 'wlan-adhoc0', respectively:
networking.wlanInterfaces = {
"wlan-managed0" = {
type = "managed";
device = "wlp6s0";
};
"wlan-adhoc0" = {
type = "ibss";
device = "wlp6s0";
};
};
Internally, a udev rule is created that matches wlp6s0 and runs a script which adds
the missing virtual interfaces and re-configures the wlp6s0 interface accordingly.
Once the new interfaces are created by the Linux kernel, the configuration of the
interfaces is managed by udev and systemd in the usual way.
