feat: add machine hostname to CLI interface #25571

Description

@themactep

Description

When running multiple Gemini CLI instances over SSH on different hosts, it is very easy to get lost or confused about which host you are currently interacting with.

Proposed Solution

Include the machine's hostname in the CLI interface (e.g., in the header, prompt, or a dedicated status line). This will provide immediate visual confirmation of the current environment.

Expected Behavior

The CLI should display the hostname (e.g., Gemini CLI (lapcat) or similar) so users can distinguish between different sessions.
