The message-of-the-day login greeter shows basic information about the OS but so far did not give a hint whether an OEM variant is used and which (e.g., "Flatcar Container Linux by Kinvolk stable (2605.12.0)"). Append the OEM name to it, like "for Amazon EC2".

In case another part has brackets, it looks strange to have two pairs of them in one line. Since they are not really needed in the relation of channels vs version, leave them out.

Using the change in flatcar/init#34 we can show the OEM on the motd, and by including "Pro" in the OEM name we can also show whether it is a Pro image or not. Later this may be revisited if the /usr/../os-release file is the place for it.
