Add support for search device by hostname

For ansible-cvp collection, we are moving to a search by hotname instead of FQDN as it can create issue when we provision devices with no dns domain
and then apply such configuration.
Currently, we don't have such function in cvprac and we can only rely on def get_device_by_name(self, fqdn)
which requires an FQDN to get device.
Idea would be to do one of these options:
- Create a new function to allow search by FQDN field
- Implement an option in
def get_device_by_name(self, fqdn)
to select field to use for search:fqdn
orhostname
Happy to discuss about the best approach before sending PR.

Actually, hostname
is not part of the response when running search_topology

So, having option to compare only hostname part of the FQDN would be nice

Have a customer that needs this in order to move to using v3 cvp modules with AVD.
