Add a classifier property to the Distribution type

[aalmiray]

Expected Behavior

Configure a custom distribution (using the distribution plugin) allowing the generated zip/tar files to have a classifier, such as

distributions {
    cli {
        distributionBaseName = project.name
        classifier =  "${osdetector.os}-${osdetector.arch}"
        contents {
            from("build/nativeImage") {
                into "bin"
                exclude "*.txt"
                rename "application", project.name
            }
            from(".") {
                include "LICENSE.txt"
            }
        }
    }
}

Current Behavior

There is no support for this. One must grab hold of the computed tasks names and append the classifier, such as

tasks.named("cliDistZip", Zip) {
    classifier =  "${osdetector.os}-${osdetector.arch}"
}

tasks.named("cliDistTar", Tar) {
    classifier =  "${osdetector.os}-${osdetector.arch}"
}

Context

I have the need to create platform specific distributions when working with projects that generate native executables with GraalVM Native Image.
