Reduce size of DistributedQueryResult to improve live query performance (#11882)
This was found while working on #10957.

When running a live query, a lot of unused host data is stored in Redis
and sent on every live query result message via websockets. The frontend
and fleetctl just need `id`, `hostname` and `display_name`. (This
becomes worse every time we add new fields to the `Host` struct.)

Sample of one websocket message result when running `SELECT * from
osquery_info;`:

size in `main`: 2234 bytes

Manual tests included running with an old fleetctl running with a new
fleet server, and vice-versa, a new fleetctl running against an old
fleet server.
