[Libguestfs] [PATCH] inspect: check also /etc/hosts for detecting Linux root (RHBZ#1203898)

[Pino Toscano]

Use /etc/hosts as alternative of /etc/fstab to detect whether a partition
represents the root of a Linux installation; the latter might not exist
in smaller/special installations like Docker images.
