[PATCH] Don't use shell quoting characters in release name.

While this doesn't solve unicode-releated problems with /etc/os-release
or /etc/fedora-release, for example, it does mean that we won't have
problems with parsing this through shell scripts, which we do quite
often.

Subject: [PATCH] Why not Zoidberg?

This fixes all of our problems with punctuation and unicode.  It may
introduce other problems.
