Code Review
This pull request introduces a new machine_name configuration option to the Chezmoi setup. It prompts the user for a machine name (defaulting to the hostname) in .chezmoi.toml.tmpl and updates dot_name.tmpl to use this value, falling back to the hostname if not defined. I have no feedback to provide as there are no review comments.
