Feature #3701

Fail if a hostname has a dot in it
Description
Today a colleague created a new host for building, he entered hostname.customername as "Name" and selected company.tld as domain (this was a wrong precedure anyway...). A host with the correct FQDN was created in Foreman, but the machine's FQDN was hostname.company.tld and with this is was auto-created in foreman again. It would be nice if there would be a check for dots in the hostname when creating a new host.

Historically it's been allowed to have hostnames with a "." in them. IIRC, even bind allows an A record "foo.bar" in zone "example.com". There's an open request in puppet labs for facter to support that scenario: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/9766. But facter doesn't, and there's probably any number of other issues with doing it.
So I included this in the PR I have for the other validation effort: https://github.com/theforeman/foreman/pull/1041
