Subject: [PATCH] [user-agent] Drop the whitelist
- Stop checking os-release(5) data against a hard-coded whitelist and
just use them as they are, to avoid a maintenance burden in the
future (see [1] for details)
- Clean up the getUserAgent() function a bit
Note that, by removing the whitelist, there's a risk of leaking a
"unique" value from the os-release file now, but a rather small one.
