Lynis does not detect derivative OS automatically
Describe the solution you'd like
I'd like Lynis to detect OS as much as possible using common ways to do this
Required changes
osdetection script
Additional context
include/osdetection script relies on "ID=" parameter from /etc/os-release
However, there is a special "ID_LIKE=" option which shows what was the original OS for this derivative.
For example:
ID=neon
ID_LIKE="ubuntu debian"
As far as i understand, version detection is only used for choosing the correct package manager, may be something more (like config paths)
Using ID_LIKE in addition to ID will prevent posting tens of "bugs" here with the error "Unknown OS found in /etc/os-release"
