cli: Add `--os-variant list` option to print OS name values
The canonical tool for this is `osinfo-query os`, which we still
reference in the man pages and in the list output.
However, we are about to make missing --os-variant fatal for common
usage, and I don't want to force users to install an extra tool just
to figure out what an acceptable --os-variant value is.
