[vw-jni] more robust OS detection

[petro-rudenko]

Hi, i'm using linux mint (ubuntu derivative). Cannot run vw-jni program, because lsb-release -r shows linux mint version. Maybe distinguish binary files by glibc version, they was compiled, or use /etc/os-release where it actually points to ubuntu:

NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="14.04.3 LTS, Trusty Tahr"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS"
VERSION_ID="14.04"
HOME_URL="http://www.ubuntu.com/"
SUPPORT_URL="http://help.ubuntu.com/"
BUG_REPORT_URL="http://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/"

os-release sounds like it might be good.
