Make code and documentation for --remote-random-hostname consistent.
Documentation examples, description and code were disagreeing on what
this option actually does. Now they will all agree that it will
*prepend* a random-byte string to the hostname name before resolving
to work around DNS caching (needs a "*" wildcard record in the zone).
Fix trac #143
