Split `hostname` and `user` into specific values 6337516c parent ca71f11c

Use as many different names for logically-distinct values as possible. The intent is to have them be "stringly-typed" values so an accidental replacement of one with another will raise an error and be noticed. The only places where this isn't done is when a name escapes out to be user-visible (eg: part of the user-facing "API"). Leave those to be the same "rosetta-builder" value to preserve a good user experience.
