Fix create-proxmox-resource.sh defaulting hostname to the flake target

--name (used as pct/qm create's --hostname/--name) defaulted to
$flake_target (e.g. "lxc-nix-cache"), not $host (e.g. "nix-cache"). Since
proxmoxLXC.manageHostName pulls the guest's real networking.hostName
straight from Proxmox's own container config, this silently overrode
host.nix's hostName with a build-type-specific name. Default --name to
--host instead, so the guest's identity matches host.nix regardless of
which platform variant built it.

Found by spinning up a fresh lxc-nix-cache test container and noticing its
hostname was "lxc-nix-cache" instead of "nix-cache".
