Release Notes Summary:Previously Facter would incorrectly report OS facts (os.name, os.release, etc) on Ubuntu systems without the lsb_release executable. OS facts now get resolved without relying on lsb_release.

QA Risk Assessment:Needs Assessment
Description
If an Ubuntu target system does not contain the lsb_release executable the OS facts for a 16.04 machine will be reported as Debain stretch/sid (from /etc/debian_release). The base Ubuntu {16,18}.04 docker images do not ship with the lsb_release executable but contain the relevant details in /etc/os-release.
