Add Linux-specific OS#parse_os_release method #38

It takes the /etc/os-release file and parses it into a ruby hash for easy access to things like distro name, id, id_like, version number, codename, etc.

It doesn't change or break anything and I tested it well with many virtual machines.

Cheers,

@rdp would it be possible to get a new gem release with this included? thanks!

OK pushed 1.1.0 give it a shot. That was terrifying LOL. Also a PR to add it to the README would be OK too! :)

Here's an opportunity, add support for another requested distro :) https://github.com/rdp/os/issues/42
