[Kimchi-devel] [RFC] Moving some features of Host tab to Ginger

I agree that most features of the tab "Host" should be moved away from
Kimchi, as I don't think they belong to a virtualization management tool.
However, the sections "Basic Information" and "System Statistics" could
remain on Kimchi as they're useful data to those managing virtual machines.

Replicating data on both Kimchi and Ginger doesn't look like a good
solution though.
