#8758: retire "variant devel_" in version string for official builds

After an olpc-upgrade --usb to candidate-765, I noticed the line of text
in a virtual terminal and in `cat /etc/issue` is:
{{{
OLPC build 765 (stream 8.2; variant devel_jffs2)
^^^^^?
}}}
I think "devel_jffs2" has always been in /etc/issue.
According to http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OS_images#Image_variants ,
"devel Contains tools useful for developers of the OLPC operating
system, including: yum, rpm, vim-minimal, openssh-server, xterm, which,
file, tree, wget, xorg-x11-twm, gdb packages"
My OS only has some of those. I think these days there isn't a "Normal
image" any more, just devel_ So the term isn't meaningful and if it
appears in the official 8.2.0 image users will confuse "devel" with having
a developer key or a developer build.
