Add host.containers.internal entry into container's etc/hosts

This change adds the entry `host.containers.internal` to the `/etc/hosts`
file within a new containers filesystem. The ip address is determined by
the containers networking configuration and points to the gateway address
for the containers networking namespace.

Closes #5651
