[Bug 1277608] [NEW] hostnamed should not print warning about nss-myhostname

[Marc Deslauriers]

Public bug reported:

Currently hostnamed prints the following error in syslog:

systemd-hostnamed[24508]: Warning: nss-myhostname is not installed.
Changing the local hostname might make it unresolveable. Please install
nss-myhostname!

Since nss-myhostname was rejected as being the right approach in
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libnss-
myhostname/+bug/1162478/comments/6 , we should not print the warning
message in the LTS release, even if hostnamed doesn't currently modify
/etc/hosts (LP: #1162475).

Can we please patch this warning out to prevent users from thinking
something is wrong on their system and leading them to install libnss-
myhostname?
