[Commotion-admin] [commotion-feed] Allow adding hostnames to olsrd's nameservice plugin (#58)

[Dan Staples]

Currently, due to input validation in olsrd's init script, there is no way to add IP/hostname pairs to the nameservice plugin. The format olsrd expects in its config file for IP/hostname entries is:

    PlParam "1.2.3.4" "nodename"

Olsrd's init script turns `/etc/config/olsrd` UCI entries into the olsrd config file. So for IP/hostname pairs, the option name (the IP address) would contain periods, which is disallowed in UCI.

To solve this issue, we would need to add logic to the olsrd init script to convert some new option, like `hostname` for instance, into the right format for the olsrd config file. So as an example, the following line in `/etc/config/olsrd`:

    option hostname "1.2.3.4/nodename"

would be converted into:

    PlParam "1.2.3.4" "nodename"

in the generated olsrd config file, `/var/run/olsrd.conf`.
