This changes the way the Linux build script recognizes which distribution script might be compatible with the host OS. It does so by checking both the `ID` and `ID_LIKE` tags in `/etc/os-release` against available scripts in `linux.d`. First match is used. Note that ID_LIKE isn't a 100% compatability guarantee, but it gives the user a fighting chance that the script will work for their distribution, and should reduce the need for manual addition of more distribution targets.
