[AppDB] Change distribution to operating system in places visible to users

Distribution is a Linuxism that makes no sense for users of other
operating systems, and even many new Linux users are unfamiliar with
the term: some users try to add the name of a distributor or version to the distribution field. Operating system is more accurate and less likely to confuse  users.
