v5:
- fixed build failure with older glib
- fixed coding style issues
- fixed one log string
This is a continuation of the work started by Vinzenz Feenstra in the
threads:

The idea is to report some basic information from uname and from
os-release file, if it is present. On MS Windows, where neither uname
nor os-release exist we fill the values based on the information we can
get from the OS.
The example output on Fedora is:
{
"return": {
"kernel-version": "#1 SMP Mon May 8 18:46:06 UTC 2017",
"kernel-release": "4.10.15-200.fc25.x86_64",
"machine-hardware": "x86_64",
"id": "fedora",
"name": "Fedora",
"pretty-name": "Fedora 25 (Server Edition)",
"version": "25 (Server Edition)",
"variant": "Server Edition",
"version-id": "25",
"variant-id": "server"
}
}
The example output on MS Windows 10 is:
{
"return": {
"kernel-version": "10.0",
"kernel-release": "10240",
"machine-hardware": "x86_64",
"id": "mswindows",
"name": "Microsoft Windows",
"pretty-name": "Windows 10 Enterprise",
"version": "Microsoft Windows 10",
"version-id": "10",
"variant": "client",
"variant-id": "client"
}
}
One issue I see with the current implementation is that one is not able
to distinguish between various (non-linux) POSIX systems from the
returned values. That's because without os-release file (which I assume
is not common on non-linux platforms) only kernel-version,
kernel-release and machine-hardware are returned and telling what OS is
running there is a guessing game. Is this a problem?
Also the qapi documentiaton probably need some polishing. Unfortunately,
so far I was unable to get qapi parser satisfied and still include all
the important information.
