Adding comments to hosts records

[Alvov1]

I'd like to get an option to write a hosts record with comment. In my organization we're adding a lot of hosts records through our cli tool, and we want to specify that this record relates to our stuff

func (h *Hosts) AddCommented(ip string, comment string, hosts ...string) error { ... }

hosts, err := hostsfile.NewHosts()
hosts.AddCommented("5.226.232.29", "added-by-ORG", "environment-10-proxy")

5.226.232.29 environment-10-proxy # added-by-ORG

you can use AddRaw. it supports parsing a # and making a comment from the rest of the line since it uses NewHostsLine which supports parsing out the comment. Try something like the following...

hosts.AddRaw("5.226.232.229 environment-10-proxy # added by ord")

if you really want a func with that signature you could wrap AddRaw in your own code or if you really want AddCommented in this package feel free to put up a PR for it and I would merge it
