Add support for detecting a distro from a rootfs even on another OS
See original GitHub issueI would be interested to run a distro detection based on some rootfs-like archive for aLinux distro and that on any OS. It could be a a plain pre-imaged rootfs, a container image, a VM image or similar and I would like to detect what it is regardless of which OS distro runs on.

Is this ready to be closed as fixed by #247?
Assuming that we (we being the world) want to standardize retrieving the linux distrubtion information, I guess that not using
lsb_releaseat all but rather implementing the major distribution’s implementation oflsb_release(whatever is not already explicitly implemented in distro) would be great. This would not only force standardization but also remove a known yet arbitrarily implemented dependency onlsb_release.
