[Bug 2067333] [NEW] hostnamectl --set-hostname doesn't update /etc/hosts

[Luke]

Public bug reported:

hostnamectl is a System API that updates all important OS references to
the hostname, so the operator does not need to know them.

Having to manually update /etc/hosts defeats the purpose of having the
System API & leaves the OS in an inconsistent state
