Chane email and LDAP server configuration from IP to hostname

Email and LDAP servers can only be configured by entering their IP address. In case of server lifecycle, connection fails.
If hostnames (and aliases) could be configured, this wouldn't be a problem anymore.
Applies to all SVC and Storwize products.
