config: add hostname-based conditional config scopes

This enables configuration to be conditionally applied based on the
hostname set in `operation.hostname`. Users can now use
`--when.hostnames = ["host-a", "host-b"]` in their config files to apply
settings only on specific machines.

Fixes: #6441
