Public bug reported:

The default cloud-init configuration for MaaS uses 'manage_etc_hosts:
localhost'; this causes a line such as:

# Added by cloud-init
127.0.1.1       test-12.os.magners.qa.lexington test-12

To be added to /etc/hosts; this is problematic for a few reasons when
using Juju with MaaS as:

unit-get private-address

returns 'test-12.os.magners.qa.lexington'; and if I then try to bind
services or connect to services running locally using this hostname I
get connected/bound to '127.0.1.1'.  And then other services connecting
to `hostname` using relation-get private-address (which resolves to the
external IP address) can't actually connect to the service as its
running on 127.0.0.1.

This part of the configuration is coming from MaaS rather than Juju and
it makes the maas provider for Juju function in a different way to other
providers which I don't believe use this configuration option.
