Wsl hostname in bash prompt #16

Instead of having the hosting machine hostname in the bash prompt, set the wsl instance name in prompt by default.

Add in a /etc/profile.d script :

# Wslname in PS1
PS1="\[\e]0;\u@$WSL_DISTRO_NAME: \w\a\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@$WSL_DISTRO_NAME\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w\[\033[00m\]\$ "

Better use the /etc/wsl.conf, and set the hostname parameter in the [network] section. Thus, PS1 env variable is unchanged, and this works even if zsh or other is used.
