    Remove pmchart one-metric-multiple-hosts legend ambiguity
    
    This change tackles the visual ambiguity that exists when a
    chart is created (or edited) such that the same metric from
    multple hosts is used.
    
    A number of difficulties arose in attempting to retrofit the
    prepend-hostname-to-legend-labels policy (potentially having
    to undo later on when editing occurs too) after a subsequent
    plot is observed to introduce the ambiguity.  So, in the end
    went with the far simpler solution of always using shortname
    -prefixed label for plots (all this is only when no explicit
    plot labels are specified, of course).
    
    Resolves Red Hat bugzilla #1069960.
