Description
In TT #1840, Andy Dougherty recommended that we set an osvers key-value pair in Configure.pl.
Parrot doesn't generally use perl5's $Config{osvers}, though parrotbug uses it in bug reports. Oddly, init/hints/freebsd.pm recomputes $osversion, but never uses it. I think it would make sense to add an osvers key to the existing cpuarch and osname keys in the config/auto/arch.pm step.
Since that Trac ticket has a different focus, I'm separating out the question of osvers into a separate ticket.
