config: Require a new UTS namespace for config.json's hostname 

The UTS namespace is for hostnames and NIS domain names [1].  Without
a new namespace, the hostname entry would clobber the host
environment's hostname.

Clobbering the host's hostname or a joined-namespace's hostname might
be acceptable for folks who trust their bundles, but it's not allowed
by the "error out if the config specifies anything else related to
that namespace" language that landed in 02b456e9 (Clarify behavior
around namespaces paths, 2015-09-08, #158).

For example, if `os` is set to `linux`, then a JSON object conforming to the [Linux-specific schema](config-linux.md) SHOULD be found at the key `linux` in the `config.json`.
