ntlm: provide a fixed fake host name

The NTLM protocol includes providing the local host name, but apparently
other implementations already provide a fixed fake name instead to avoid
leaking the real local name.

The exact name used is 'WORKSTATION', because Firefox uses that.

The change is written to allow someone to "back-pedal" fairly easy in
case of need.
