Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek ee6fd6a509 man: recommend built-in platform.freedesktop_os_release() in our page
Python gained support for reading os-release, let's advertise it a bit more.
Our open-coded example is still useful, but let's not suggest it as the
default implementation.

I added quotes around the printed string because it looks a bit better
this way.
