Description

Suse previously shipped with a /etc/SUSE-release file that we parsed. This is no longer the case and they've switched to the /etc/os-release standard. We need to properly parse that out.

Research direction

Start in install.sh and inspect how the existing /etc/SUSE-release detection works. Compare that behavior with the /etc/os-release standard and confirm that openSUSE Leap 15 is recognized correctly; the work is done when installation no longer misses this distribution.
