Libosinfo 0.2.5 is out!

Changes since 0.2.4:

- Make use of post-installation drivers in Windows 7 install scripts. This
  implies apps can now easily setup virtio+QXL device drivers and spice-vdagent
  as part of Windows 7 unattended installation.
- Windows 7 install script now requires product key, mainly because product key
  is the only way to choose product when dealing with installer media with
  multiple products on it.
- Actually add install scripts for Windows 8. This was supposed to be merged in
  release 0.2.3.
- Formalize architecture names in DB to align with libvirt. The main change is
  that i386, i486, i586, all merge to just i686, since in practice these
  differences haven't mattered for at least 15 years now.
- Fixes to mingw RPM spec from Fedora.
- Add a Windows 7 volume ID to DB.
