[PATCH v2] pasta.c: modify hostname when detaching new namespace

[Danish Prakash <contact@danishpraka.sh>]

When invoking pasta without any arguments, it's difficult
to tell whether we are in the new namespace or not leaving
users a bit confused. This change modifies the host namespace
to add a prefix "pasta-" to make it a bit more obvious.
