Bug Description

While lxc-clone conceptually does the proper thing to /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf its missing a critical ';' at the end of the line breaking how it works.

- sed -i "s/send host-name.*$/send host-name $hostname/" $rootfs/etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf
+ sed -i "s/send host-name.*$/send host-name $hostname;/" $rootfs/etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf

Adds the semicolon fixing the issue.
