docker: move host path for hosts file mount to alloc dir (#10823)
In Nomad 1.1.1 we generate a hosts file based on the Nomad-owned network
namespace, rather than using the default hosts file from the pause
container. This hosts file should be shared between tasks in the same
allocation so that tasks can update the file and have the results propagated
between tasks.

docker: generate /etc/hosts file for bridge network mode (#10766)
When `network.mode = "bridge"`, we create a pause container in Docker with no
networking so that we have a process to hold the network namespace we create
in Nomad. The default `/etc/hosts` file of that pause container is then used
for all the Docker tasks that share that network namespace. Some applications
rely on this file being populated.

This changeset generates a `/etc/hosts` file and bind-mounts it to the
container when Nomad owns the network, so that the container's hostname has an
IP in the file as expected. The hosts file will include the entries added by
the Docker driver's `extra_hosts` field.

In this changeset, only the Docker task driver will take advantage of this
option, as the `exec`/`java` drivers currently copy the host's `/etc/hosts`
file and this can't be changed without breaking backwards compatibility. But
the fields are available in the task driver protobuf for community task
drivers to use if they'd like.
