[StarCluster] Prefixing hostnames with cluster tag

[Alex Gaudio]

Hi Hugh (and everyone),

I'm sorry for taking forever to respond to your enthusiastic reply!  I just
submitted a PR that implements this change.  Details about it can be found
in the PR:

https://github.com/jtriley/StarCluster/pull/298

Thanks,
Alex
