Description
Currently LinuxAdmin::Hosts supports #add_alias and #set_canonical_hostname
It should also support #remove_alias #unset_canonical_hostname (method names TBD)
Also currently #set_canonical_hostname, by default, removes the hostname from
all addresses before setting it on only 1. Support to allow users to remove a hostname
from individual addresses but also to allow multiple addresses to be associated with
a single name

Research direction
Start by locating the LinuxAdmin::Hosts implementation and its existing #add_alias and #set_canonical_hostname methods. Trace how hostnames are removed and assigned across addresses; done means the API supports removing aliases and canonical hostnames, removing a hostname from an individual address, and associating one name with multiple addresses.
