[Bug 1940481] Re: dhclient.conf should set send DHCPv6 host-name option

[TJ]

** Description changed:

  Despite the fix in 2012 (bug #991360) the default configuration shipped
- with isb-dhcp-client /etc/dhclient.conf in 2021 still does not set the
- DHCPv6 hostname option by default. All it needs is:
+ with isb-dhcp-client /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf in 2021 still does not set
+ the DHCPv6 hostname option by default. All it needs is:
  
  # send host-name with DHCPv6 not just DHCPv4
  send fqdn.fqdn = gethostname();
  
  Without this option it causes dhcpy6d's dynamic DNS update (to bind9) to
  fail because the hostname is empty.
