Migrate standard OS info interface to /etc/os-release

[Ryan Finnie]

/etc/os-release is the wave of the future (see LP: #947236). Finnix has recently added the file (see LP: #1072223), but:

1) The finnix-release package maintains lsb-release as the canonical source, and builds os-release based on info from os-release. This should be reversed.
2) Other utilities (mostly in finnix-scripts) refer to lsb-release for information. These should be switched to os-release.

/etc/lsb-release can remain, but shouldn't be relied upon.

As it stands, it's easier for lsb-release to be the canonical source and build os-release from it, rather than the other way around, at the package level. This is in the packaging rules itself; the difference is invisible to the end user.

Keeping lsb-release as the canonical source in the packaging for now.
