[OE-core] [PATCH v2 0/4] Make oe.lsb.distro_identifier() more consistent

[Joshua Lock]

The oe.lsb.distro_identifier() method call will return different identification
information depending on the source which is found to provide that information.

This series attempts to address this in two ways:
1) preferring os-release(5) as the source of distribution identification. this
  increasingly common standard mechanism is available on each of the build host
  distributions we commonly test on.
2) converting the distribution identifier to lower case before including it in
  the distro_identifier return value. This ensures that, for most of the tested
  distros, the identifier returned via the LSB code paths matches that returned
  by the os-release code paths.

Changes since v1:
* improve release_dict_osr() in patch 3 to handle empty lines and values with surrounding quotation marks in /etc/os-release, as used in CentOS


The following changes since commit 9303d8055c45a0f6af295d70a6f6a8b9d8d8a7c9:
