Description
## What?
Show a strongly worded message if the user's data nodes are not reporting FQDN (fully qualified domain name). It is critically important that all nodes can communicate with each other and the best way to guarantee this is with explicit fully qualified domain names.
I was just working to convert my home "production" cluster and realized one of my 3 opensearch nodes did not have a domain configured for its hostname (e.g. via `hostname -f`). Thankfully the data node preflight page shows this and i was able to correct it.
Though once preflight is completed it is likely not possible to change the hostname without causing issues.
A UX warning can help the user be aware of a suboptimal configuration and avoid issues later on.
