remote/exporter: Add option to default to fqdn for hostname

In distributed setups, the coordinator may point to exporters/places in different subnets. In order for clients to resolve resources behind the exporter, they need to know its FQDN instead of just the hostname. Using an option to change the default avoids conflicts for configs which rely on the hostname only. Signed-off-by: Andreas Naumann <[email protected]>
