saltstack/salt — Issue #584: rfe: option to allow id=`hostname --short` instead of --long

currently id's are based on fully qualified hostnames which aren't technically hostnames but dns names and collide with nis names using hostname.domainname.

thus, allow an option to make minion ids derived from hostname --short instead.
