  o Minor features:
    - The advertised platform of a router now includes only its
      operating system's name (e.g., "Linux", "Darwin", "Windows 7"),
      and not its service pack level (for Windows), or its CPU
      architecture (for Unix). This is part of ticket 2988.
    - Do not include the (git-XYZ) tag in published server descriptor
      platform lines. This is part of ticket 2988.
    - Allow packagers to insert an extra string in server descriptor
      platform lines by setting the preprocessor variable TOR_BUILD_TAG.
      This is part of ticket 2988.
Cut down on the OS information we give. For uname-based detection, we now give only the OS name (e.g., "Darwin", "Linux".) For Windows, we give only the Operating System name as inferred from dw(Major\|Minor)version, (e.g., "Windows XP", "Windows 7"), and whether the VER_NT_SERVER flag is set.

Do not publish the "git-XXX" tag in server descriptors Instead, allow packagers to put a 'TOR_BUILD_TAG' field in the server descriptor to indicate a platform-specific value, if they need to. (According to weasel, this was his use for the git- tag previously.) This is part of 2988 2012-05-11 18:06:12 -04:00			`- Do not include the (git-XYZ) tag in published server descriptor`
