OctoPi change hostname before first boot

If your Pi is not running

Plug the SD into your computer and on the drive that pops up (same place where you can find the network config file) create a new file octopi-hostname.txt and put the host name you want into it, e.g.
octopi2
Plug the SD back into your Pi and power it up.

I'd like to see this added to https://octoprint.org/download/ in the Setting up OctoPi section. Furthermore, I'd suggest that the file always exist in the OctoPi image with the default name "octopi".

I have never set up a octoprint setttings for my second pi so therefore have no username or password. Assistance is greatly appreciated, thank you
