[Bug 1134372] [NEW] newline appended to StaticHostname property

[Szymon Janc]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

Bogus new line is being appended to StaticHostname property on
org.freedesktop.hostname1 interface.

example output from d-feet

{u'Hostname': u'uw000953',
 u'IconName': u'',
 u'PrettyHostname': u'',
 u'StaticHostname': u'uw000953\n'}

changing line 28 in systemd.py from
    static_hostname = f.readline()
to
    static_hostname = f.readline().rstrip()

seem to fix this issue.

This issue is present in 13.04, 12.10 and 12.04  (didn't check older
versions).
