Patch release/tools/gce.conf to allow NTP queries

After create a VM on GCE using a FreeBSD 12 image (projects/freebsd-org-cloud-dev/global/images/family/freebsd-12-0) for some reason I cannot query NTP because of non resolved hostname.

# ntpq -p
hostname nor servname provided, or not known

After adding '127.0.0.1 localhost' to /etc/hosts I am able to do the query.

# ntpq -p
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
==============================================================================
*metadata.google 71.79.79.71      2 u   42   64  377    0.530   65.006 121.795

I attached a patch that instead of overwrite the /etc/hosts with this content:

echo '169.254.169.254 metadata.google.internal metadata' > \
${DESTDIR}/etc/hosts

We simply append this line to the base /etc/hosts file.

One of the tests that the Google Cloud team runs against images is to query NTP this way that I described, so this is making some tests failures.

I can also reproduce this issue using FreeBSD 11 image available in GCE.
