User can only change elementary hostname by editing the /etc/hostname through terminal.

Allow user to change hostname using GUI in Settings -> System -> Hardware

I would like to solve this issue, i pretend to do next thing:

Utilize the command hostnamectl to changes static and pretty name without use root permissions.
Use an entry to show the hostname using the same code from current label.
We would have a button with icon that the user must press to allow write, the icon change to another icon, when the user press icon again hostnamectl would be called and then the hostname would be saved.
The entry and label widgets will be added and removed from a container dynamically.

Proof of concept:

EDIT: I missed something, a mechanism for cancel the operation, may be a second button at the right of first.

Is would be necessary a message of the action for user? maybe like an info bar? What do you think? Is good enough?

Hi @KaltWulx , maybe a confirmation pop up on save with cancel button?
