[RFC PATCH 0/2] Add /etc/os-release

[Christopher Larson <kergoth@gmail.com>]

systemd wants /etc/os-release, and it's useful for other software, and the
user as well. This adds it as a separate recipe which generates the metadata
using our config metadata variables (e.g. DISTRO_*), and rreccomends it from
systemd. I think this is a reasonablea pproach, but I wanted to run it by
folks, and also pursue an answer to my open question on this, should
base-files pull it in instead of systemd, or something else, for non-systemd
images? Do we care if it's missing from those? Thoughts?
