[LU-2997] Single VM with ost/mds/client named "client" failed llmount.sh

Description

My VM's hostname is "client" and I needed to setup a single VM Lustre instance. I left the cfg/local.sh config stock and ran llmount.sh

Note this is documented on the wiki to work.

Format mds1: /tmp/lustre-mdt1
Format ost1: /tmp/lustre-ost1
mkfs.lustre: Can't parse NID '*'

huh?

-x showed

sh -c 'mkfs.lustre --mgsnode='\''*'\'' --fsname=lustre --ost --index=0 --param=sys.timeout=20 --backfstype=ldiskfs --device-size=200000 --reformat /tmp/lustre-ost1 >/dev/null'

msgnode should be my local ip@tpc (or something like that).

"client" is called out as a special hostname in test-framework.sh.

See the patch for a suggested fix.
