Vendor identity check — more than a bare ID match

Section titled “Vendor identity check — more than a bare ID match”

Verified live against quay.io/centos/centos:stream9: /etc/os-release reports ID="centos"the same ID legacy, EOL CentOS Linux uses — so this product also checks NAME="CentOS Stream", the field that actually tells the two apart. product: centos-stream pointed at a legacy CentOS 7 host (or vice versa) fails the identity check rather than getting recorded under the wrong product.

Same as the rest of the family: version from VERSION_ID, plus extra.hostKeyVerified.
