Description
It would be useful to have a validation service that checks whether a hostname is valid. Currently, there are multiple places in modules, and in the core, that perform similar/identical hostname validation checks. See https://www.blesta.com/forums/index.php?/topic/11833-validatehostname-should-accept-uppercase-characters/
I'm thinking a new utility under /core/Util/Validate/Server that provides a method to validate a server's hostname. Perhaps another to validate an IP address.
The Zend framework supports a Hostname validator that appears to handle domain/IDN/IP validation but it's apart of a larger library that requires php 5.6+ and adds up to almost 2MB of files. It may be best in the interim to use php's filter_var with FILTER_VALIDATE_DOMAIN and FILTER_VALIDATE_IP.

Depending on complexity, an initial fix for uppercase characters could be made per https://dev.blesta.com/browse/CORE-2832 While it would be good to have a consistent way of validating hostnames which modules can utilize, this shouldn't slow down a fix for resolving uppercase character validation in individually affected modules.
