Before adding new records to /etc/hosts, remove all hostnames
that are managed by the model but have different addresses
than provided in the model.

Parameter purge_hosts will enforce whole /etc/hosts file, removing entries
that are not defined in model except defaults for both IPv4 and IPv6 localhost
and hostname + fqdn.

It's good to use this option if you want to ensure /etc/hosts is always in a
clean state however it's not enabled by default for safety.
