DNS/DHCP hosts management/integration for ISC bind9 and dhcpd.

Also includes network SNMP discovery.

== Hosts ==
The `pvl.hosts-* etc/hosts/test` tools read hosts files as input, which have an ini format, using section names as hostnames to configure attributes for that host:

    [foo]
        ip  = 127.0.0.1

    [bar]
        ip  = 127.0.0.2

The default mechanism uses the basename of the given config file as the domain name, so this example file would generate something like the following output for use in a `zone "test" { ... }` zonefile:

    $ pvl.hosts-dns --forward-zone=test etc/hosts/test
    foo                               A     127.0.0.1
    bar                               A     127.0.0.2

And correspondingly, the reverse zone for 127.0.0.0/8:

    $ pvl.hosts-dns --reverse-zone=127 etc/hosts/test
    1.0.0                             PTR   foo.test.
    2.0.0                             PTR   bar.test.
