All tests in our current setup are prefixed by the relevant hostname (e.g. something.company.com HTTP). While it is easy to just add the FQDN everywhere like name: "{{ ansible_fqdn }}-http", it would be nicer and less verbose to have a global option for that.

To add this, I'd like to introduce a STATUSCAKE_NAME_PREFIX environment variable. If that variable is set, each test is prefixed by the given value. If it's set to something.company.com- and the module is invoked with name=http is given, the actual test created will be called something.company.com-http. That variable would be optional, of course.

Since this introduces a new mechanic to your module, I thought I'd open a quick issue first. If you think that this is tailored too tightly to our use case, please just let me know. In that case we'll find another solution or maintain this rather small patch in our fork.

So, what do you think this?
