Add Archlinux to list of supported distros

Browse Source 
There is a bug with `platform.linux_distribution()`, which returns an
empty value on Archlinux with python2.

This bug is fixed in python3, but *will not* be fixed in python2.

This patch fixes that issue with a dirty hack: on archlinux, there is a
file that can be used to detect an archlinux machine. that file is
`/etc/arch-release`. if the file exists, then the OS variable will be
set to "linux-arch".

You can learn more about that issue on the python bug platform:
