Document all supported Operating Systems

[chris-rock]

Description

The InSpec readme does not outline a matrix with supported operating systems. It should be very easy to find a list of supported os.

wip: https://github.com/chef/inspec/compare/vj/add-supported-os-to-readme ...should I be adding more detail there? and if so, what details? :)

[chris-rock]

A couple of things that come into my mind that we should consider:

• Distinguish between OS where inspec can be executed (aka runtime os) and remote targets
• We should have a list
• we should follow the Chef guideline for tier supporting and adding the information here as well

Some references:

• Remote OS Support: https://github.com/chef/train/blob/master/lib/train/extras/os_common.rb
• Tier Support from Chef: https://github.com/chef/chef-rfc/blob/master/rfc021-platform-support-policy.md#currently-supported-platforms (lets double check that we support all platforms remotely)
• Runtime Support should be limited to RHEL 6 & 7, Windows 7+ , Windows 2012+, Ubuntu 12.04+, Debain 8
