From the systemd os-release man page:

> /etc/os-release should be a relative symlink to /usr/lib/os-release,
> to provide compatibility with applications only looking at /etc/.

While systemd ships a tmpfiles dropin that will make the symlink, when
building e.g. portable service images, those might not have systemd
itself, and thus won't have the tmpfiles dropin. To make sure all Arch
images have the symlink, let's create it as part of the filesystem package
since we already ship /usr/lib/os-release in the filesystem package as
well.

We do this in a install script to avoid messing with any existing
/etc/os-release files or symlinks. For safety we only create the file
symlink if /etc/os-release is not yet a symlink and doesn't exist.
