guestOS: Uniquely run time identify Photon

Currently VMware Photon 2 is identified at run time as a Linux 4.x kernel.
This is correct, but the Photon distro has an LSB compliant identification
file.

Attempt to check the LSB compliant identification file for Photon. If
present, identify the guest as "vmware-photon".
