sys-apps/baselayout: Improve Funtoo OS Detection info when building stage3's

      Request: Please add a VERSION field to /etc/os-release file when metro builds a stage 3. This will lead to better OS Detection for Funtoo systems

      CONTEXT:

      the command /usr/bin/distro from the dev-python/distro package outputs this:

      # distro 
      Name: Funtoo Linux
      Version: n/a (n/a)
      Codename: n/a

       

      It uses the output of `lsb-release -a` if available:LSB Version:    n/a
      Distributor ID:    Gentoo
      Description:    Funtoo Linux 1.4
      Release:    n/a
      Codename:    n/a

       

      It also uses /etc/os-release, which looks great:

      ID="funtoo"
      NAME="Funtoo"
      PRETTY_NAME="Funtoo Linux"
      ANSI_COLOR="0;34"
      HOME_URL="https://www.funtoo.org"
      BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.funtoo.org"

       

      and finally the /etc/gentoo-release file says:Funtoo Linux 1.4

       

      Action Requested: Ensure that the outputs of lsb-release -a and distro are accurate
