Log message:
Include hostname in shell prompts by default

With tmux, ssh and vmd, we tend to open shells on many different hosts
simultaneously and the default prompts '$ ' and '# ' for {,k}sh as well
as  '% ' and '# ' for csh become dangerous: it's very easy to issue a
command on the wrong host.

This can easily be avoided by displaying the hostname in the prompt.
Everything beyond "hostname{$,#,%} " is going to be a matter of taste,
so we left it at that. If you use an FQDN, only the first part (the
output of 'hostname -s') will be printed.
