(API) Port old tests for hosts

Significantly update the definition of class `Host`: modify fields and override
the `build` method to properly create dependent entities. Enable CRUD tests for
hosts in module `test_multiple_paths`. Drop old CRUD tests for hosts.

Slightly clean up module `test_host_v2`.

Fix #1446.
The `build` method is inherited by this class. (And that's yet another reason that I want to do some work on the creation mixin.)
