Telemetry: Collect actual OS, not only type

Currently we only collect the OS type, not actually the distribution.

Looking at the admin page on /admin/reports/telemetry - I'd assume that we need something other than just PHP_OS to get what we want. Otherwise it's either Linux or Windows, very likely "Linux" in 99% - which is pointless.

telemetry-os

Options:

php_uname()
getenv()

... reduced to the info we need.
