[Bug 1050995] [NEW] Add Ubuntu version number to bootloader screen

[Jeremy Bicha]

Public bug reported:

Currently, on Quantal, the default bootloader choice is simply "Ubuntu".
While I prefer the simplicity to what we had in previous releases, there
isn't really enough information for testers or power users who have
multiple Ubuntu installs (ie. stable and development or LTS & non-LTS).

I'd like to see "Ubuntu 12.10" or "Ubuntu 12.04 LTS".
