Anaconda and Yum Update break Dnsmasq

Today's yum update changed something that caused dnsmasq to fail
to start up.  Apparently dnsmasq now gets HOSTNAME from a file
anaconda creates.   In the case of the omen.com server, Anaconda
did not set a hostname.  Now all of a sudden dnsmasq cares about
this whereas it didn't previously.

While snooping around trying to fix the problem, I discovered multiple
dnsmasq.conf files.

Anaconda should set HOSTNAME in its special file.  If anaconda doesn't
get a good hostname from dhcp anaconda should ask for one!
