Devuan and rvm. Patched

[aleskandro]

Hi all, I installed rvm on devuan and noted that it doesn't recognize devuan as a debian distro because of missing of /etc/debian_version (It uses /etc/devuan_version). I solved it creating a patch to add devuan compatibility to rvm.
I don't know what is the best way to commit it so I upload it here: http://pastebin.com/xQRSkyxW

@aleskandro After confirming it's all working well on a fresh Devuan install I merged your patch in the commit above.

Thanks!
