The new standard for host distribution identification [1] is
/etc/os-release, and a number of newer distributions provide this file,
so add support for this in order to pick up more distributions.
Additionally, handle "rolling release" style distributions that don't
report a version number, e.g. Arch Linux.
With this change we can identify the most common distributions, so this
should satisfy [YOCTO #4271]. Note that this doesn't imply support for
these distros as build hosts, just that we can identify them.

Instead of running lsb_release -a, a lsb_release -ir will be run.
This will prevent issue with distros that don't have all the needed
info in /etc/lsb-release file, in which case lsb_release won't generate
an error code.
Partial fix for [YOCTO #4071]

In some cases, /etc/lsb-release file is used to extract
info about poky build host machine. But the strings are
not stripped of end of line special characters. As such,
when this info is concatenated and used as a directory
entry in sstate_cache, this is an issue.
Usually, this issue is masked by the fact that distro
related info is extracted from the output of lsb_release
command. In case of Yocto Linux, running "lsb_release -a"
will give an error code because CODENAME info is not present.
As such, bitbake will extract the info from /etc/lsb-release,
running into the above issue.
Consequence is that building under BA will crash.

If lsb_release is not installed (as it may not be on headless/minimal
installations on distros whose LSB package has a long list of
dependencies) we need to gather the information directly from files in
/etc.
Fixes [YOCTO #4012].

Use "-" instead of "/" in "n/a" strings ("Distributor ID" and/or
"Release"), provided by `lsb_release`.
This leads to directories and subdirectories created in ./sstate-cache/
e.g. Distro-n/a/ where "Distro-n" is dir and "a" is subdir.

This code was written by Christopher Larson <chris_larson@mentor.com> and
allows generation of the LSB release data based upon the lsb_release
command. It also includes a helper function to generate a string
representing a given distribution.
