The message-of-the-day login greeter shows basic information about the
OS but so far did not give a hint whether an OEM variant is used and
which (e.g., "Flatcar Container Linux by Kinvolk stable (2605.12.0)").
Append the OEM name to it, like "for Amazon EC2".

How to use

Build an OEM image and see that the name is shown at login

Testing done

Only manual execution of the changed script lines

Thanks for working on this. Unfortunately, I'm not sure this ends up creating the string we want :(

In case another part has brackets, it looks strange to have two
pairs of them in one line.
Since they are not really needed in the relation of channels vs
version, leave them out.

Using the change in flatcar/init#34
we can show the OEM on the motd, and by including "Pro" in the OEM
name we can also show whether it is a Pro image or not. Later this
may be revisited if the /usr/../os-release file is the place for it.
