Host entity names inconsistent between Satellite and satellite-populate

[chbrown13]

• satellite-populate version: 0.1.3
• Python version: 2.7.13
• Operating System: Fedora 25

Description

Satellite automatically modifies the name of Host entities which causes problems for searching and performing actions for satellite-populate. Satellite automatically stores host names and appends a domain but the satellite-populate registry still refers to the object by the original name.

Example:

• satellite-populate original name

  vars:
  host_name: Update Host
  # Create...

• Satellite name

  updatehost.8redwimjy5

• Result

That is new to me, I did not know satellite changed the names. So in populate the search should be done by other atributes. This will be very hard to fix.

Agreed, I also had to set _force_raw to True in constants.py because searching Host entities was running into an issue returning all hosts instead of the one specified, same as #66. So couldn't search with other attributes.
