DetailsI encountered some problem while using serverspec to test my servers. Serverspec wasn't able to autodetect the distribution on one of my Arch Linux servers. It turned it it's because of linux-grsec presenting non-Arch Linux `uname -r`. Sure, `3.16.3-1-ARCH` should never be presented with grsec kernel, but how about `3.16.3-1-ARCH-grsec`? This lets any software detect Arch Linux, without confusing vanilla Arch kernel with grsec kernel.

Oh, I meant "how about 3.16.3.201409180901-1-ARCH-grsec", not "3.16.3-1-ARCH-grsec", obviously. :-)

The linux-lts package uses $pkgver-$pkgrel-lts rather than $pkgver-$pkgver-ARCH-lts. Detecting Arch Linux should be done with the standard /etc/os-release file. I'm not interested in making the version even longer in order to cope with broken software.
