[PATCHES] os-release: Populate VARIANT and VARIANT_ID values

[Stephen Gallagher]

The systemd upstream project has accepted VARIANT as a cross-distribution feature, but with a minor change[1] from our original approach: they wanted a human-presentable VARIANT and a separate lower-case-only VARIANT_ID value. This patch implements this in Fedora to keep us aligned with systemd upstream[2].

Sorry for the churn on this. Fortunately, we only have one package depending on this at the moment in Fedora, which I can keep updated. I think it makes sense to get this in for Fedora 22 Final so we aren't maintaining different approaches in Fedora 21, 22 *and* 23.

I've got an update to the packaging guidelines prepared[3] as well, which I'll submit to FPC as soon as this is approved by rel-eng.
