File Doesn't Appear in Release tarball, but is in GitHub master

[Steven Smith]

Thank you! This is what gurus are for.

For posterity, the adaptive hosts file is created from macOS’s original /etc/hosts file, which I’ve saved as hosts.orig in case I or anyone else wants a different hosts file baseline.

I’ll just rename it hosts_orig.
