CLOUDSTACK-7974: remove old hostname entry for a VM when adding a VM

When adding a VM, it adds an entry to /etc/hosts file on the VR but does not
clear up any older entries for the VM with a same name. The fix uncomments the
command that removes any old entries in the VM.

>          Components: Virtual Router
>    Affects Versions: 4.3.0
>            Reporter: Yiping Zhang
>            Assignee: Rohit Yadav
>             Fix For: 4.5.0, 4.6.0, 4.4.2, 4.4.3, 4.3.2
>
>
> We have noticed that entries for hosts which have been destroyed for a long 
> time still exist in both /etc/dhcphosts.txt and /etc/hosts files on our 
> Virtual Routers.
> To reproduce this bug,  just create an instance, note down its MAC and IP 
> address, then destroy the instance from web UI.  Now check virtual router, 
> and you will find that the entries still exist in /etc/dhcphosts.txt and 
> /etc/hosts files.
> I did a bit more digging on virtual router, and immediately noticed the 
> following:
> 1. /root/edithosts.sh script is only called when an instance is created, but 
> not when an instance is destroyed.
> 2. After reading /root/edithosts.sh script, I am pretty certain that the 
> function of this script is to add info about newly created instances into 
> /etc/hosts and /etc/dhcphosts.txt files.  So the script should really be 
> renamed as /root/addhosts.sh to reflect its true function.
> 3.  there is no script to properly delete entries from /etc/hosts and 
> /etc/dhcphosts.txt file when instances are destroyed
