Not sure if this is the best way to fix the failure, although it _would_
make the error message find /etc/hosts there so it can be suggested.

This test is fragile, though -- if you have a file named /etc/hosting or
such, it'll be picked instead of "hosts".

The root cause, though, is that libexplain knows about gethostid, thus it
can rule out an user making a typo -- the function looks for /etc/hostid and
hothing else.
