tdf#107461: For Unix-like OS, support file://<hostname>/... URLs

...where <hostname> matches whatever osl_getLocalHostname reports.  (And, for
simplicity, don't support variations where e.g. one of the two FQDNs has an
optional final dot while the other has not.)

(It is not clear to me whether a similar change should also be done for the
Windows-specific code in sal/osl/w32/file_url.cxx.  On Windows, file URLs with a
host component are generally interpreted as UNC pathnames, and in some local
test on a Windows 8 machine whose hostname is reported as "win8", passing a URL
like <file://win8/Users/me/Documents/...> (i.e., without a C: drive letter) to
LO already worked to access files on the default drive C: at least.)
