[PATCH] host/rootfs: Add scripts to access a VM by name

[Demi Marie Obenour <demiobenour@gmail.com>]

This is much more convenient than having to find a VM's ID.

In the future, the programs that take a VM ID should be the suffixed
ones, but this change avoids having to change any tests and so is
simpler.
