* Add --hostname argument and DBX_CONTAINER_HOSTNAME env var
* Update usage/distrobox-create.md and useful_tips.md
* Refining error message when hostname is too long
The init-hook provided for creating a distrobox with the
the same hostname as its host has two typos:
- Command substitution wrapping `uname -n` suppressing stdout redirect
- trailing "`"
Using this init-hook as suggested causes build errors.
This fix corrects the suggested script by echoing the command
substitution and removing the trailing "`".
See issue #1164 for details.
* init: add nvidia integration
This is a preliminary work to implement host's nVidia driver's
integration, in the guest.
The procedure is simple enough, it will try and find all nVidia related
files in the host, and bind mount them in the guest.

Up until now, we were unable to distinguish between normal users
(running the scripts via sudo) and root user (running the script in a
login shell). This introduces a check for the SUDO_USER and DOAS_USER
variables (created in unmodified environments, by sudo and doas,
respectively), among other mechanisms, to allow the root user to manage
rootful containers.

This utility is automatically called by create and rm, so newer
distroboxes created with this version onward will automatically be added
to you applications list.
This tool can also be called separately to create/recreate/remove an
entry.

This will make it easier to have containers with different login shell
than the host, and will make it easier to fallback to working shells if
init fails to install the host's custom shell.

Tested and worked fine. I had to install `dnf-plugins-core` which is
installed out of the box on AlmaLinux 8, but that's not a distrobox
issue.
```shell
distrobox on main
❯ ./distrobox create -i docker.io/library/almalinux:9 -n alma9 --pre-init-hooks "dnf -y install dnf-plugins-core && dnf config-manager --enable crb && dnf -y install epel-release"

* Implement pre-initialization hooks
This implements support for running commands prior to most of the
container initialization. e.g. for RHEL and derivatives you might need
to pre-enable the PowerTools/CRB and EPEL repositories.

This commit will add the `--root/-r` flag to create,enter,list,rm,stop
commands. This will enable the use of podman/docker in root mode. This
is the preferred way over `sudo distrobox`.
Update man pages and docs accordingly.
