1. Move out the old helpers that provided oop access/reading/writing
to various standard conf files and place those in parsers instead.
2. Unify the 'update_hostname' which varied very little between distros
and make it generic so that subclasses can only provide a couple of
functions to obtain the hostname updating functionality
3. Implement that new set of functions in rhel/debian
4. Use the new parsers chop_comment function for similar use
cases as well as add a new utils make header function that
can be used for configuration files that are newly generated
to use (less duplication here of this same thing being done
in multiple places.
5. Add in a distro '_apply_hostname' which calls out to the 'hostname'
program to set the system hostname (more duplication elimination).
6. Make the 'constant' filenames being written to for configuration
by the various distros be instance members instead of string
constants 'sprinkled' throughout the code
