Fix replacing localhost by hostname in config file
Since [ejabberd 19.08][1], the example config file value `localhost` is
no longer wrapped in double quotes. This commit changes the Debian
installation script accordingly.
This prevents problems during the installation caused by the mismatch
of a user-provided custom `$HOST` value known to the installation
script and the unchanged `localhost` value in the config file known to
the newly started ejabberd instance.
This in turn prevents the following error during installation when
using a custom hostname and trying to register an admin user to the
newly started ejabberd instance:
Waiting for ejabberd to register admin user
dpkg: error processing package ejabberd (--configure):
installed ejabberd package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
or, if an early exit from the installation script is prevented:
Waiting for ejabberd to register admin user
Can't register admin user "admin@example.com". (Error: cannot_register)

Prevent early exit on admin registration error
[Commit b3ff3a65] reorganized the code for registering the admin user,
but inadvertently also made `ejabberdctl register` not fall under one
of the exceptions of `set -e` anymore. This leads to an early exit of
the installation script in case of problems registering the admin user,
with no printing of the cause of the error and leaving the package in a
half-configured state:
Waiting for ejabberd to register admin user
dpkg: error processing package ejabberd (--configure):
installed ejabberd package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
This commit makes the `ejabberdctl register` command fall under one of
the exceptions of `set -e` again, thereby preventing an early exit from
the installation script in case the registration fails. Instead, it
prints the error message and leave the package in an installed state:
Waiting for ejabberd to register admin user
Can't register admin user "admin@example.com". (Error: cannot_register)
