agetty: support /usr/lib/os-release too
http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/os-release.html
The file /etc/os-release takes precedence over /usr/lib/os-release.
Applications should check for the former, and exclusively use its data
if it exists, and only fall back to /usr/lib/os-release if it is
missing.
