Hi!

For ages, "uname -v" output (sligtly polished sysctl kern.version) had the following format:
$ uname -v
FreeBSD 13.2-STABLE 36a037f15 KERNELIDENT

Where KERNELIDENT is GENERIC for x86 distribution media.

But now:

# uname -v
FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE #0 releng/14.0-n265380-f9716eee8ab4: Fri Nov 10 05:51:26 UTC 2023     root@releng1.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/i386.i386/sys/GENERIC

Do we really need to break the format and include these into "uname -v" output
for release and stable branches?
