The hostname and model fields were populated through element-existence
checks and empty-string fallbacks that the other fields on the page do
without. Assign them the same way.

Every switch came up as "RTLPlayground", so several of them on one
network were indistinguishable until someone configured a name. Append
the last three MAC octets (e.g. RTLPlayground-1ef924) - unique in
practice, still recognisable, and any "hostname ..." line in the startup
config overrides it as before.

Typing "hostname" on its own cleared the name: with no argument the copy
loop never ran and the terminating NUL landed at index 0. Report the
current name instead, accept exactly one argument to set it, and reject
anything longer - a name with spaces tokenizes into several words, and
silently keeping only the first one is worse than an error. Walk the
buffer with a pointer, which the compiler codes better than indexing.

machine.machine_name is already reported in /information.json as hw_ver;
surface it read-only on the System Settings page so the exact build
target is visible in the UI, without adding a redundant JSON field.
Add a device hostname settable from the CLI (`hostname <text>`) and the
System Settings page. The value is sanitized on ingest to JSON-safe
printable ASCII (<=23 chars), stored in a shared __xdata buffer, seeded
to "RTLPlayground" at boot, persisted through the startup-config, and
reported in /information.json. It lives in the common header so other
modules can advertise it (LLDP uses it as the System Name TLV).
