Make License Scheduler Container Aware

Presently, when a job runs on an LSF host while using a container technology, the hostname that is posted to "lmstat" is generally not the name of the host running the LSF jobs. Therefore, as container use becomes more prevalent, License Scheduler...

Set the "+pref_level" for hosts or host_groups in lsb.hosts
