Description

Ambari agent relies on the following configuration in ambari-agent.ini to find the Ambari server hostname.

[server]
hostname=localhost

We want to add a feature that let the hostname be discovered via a configurable script similar to how the agent can use 'hostname_script' to find its own hostname.
