This PR allows distributions to customise the final raspinfo script with their specific not found help messages. It could easily be expended to more.

It is still wip because I want to make it usable for other tools too, but feel free to review or edit stuff!

This mostly adds package notifications for Gentoo and makes the wording
on the not found messages similar. It also makes it easier for a
distribution to add their specific stuff.

You're going to have to sell this change a lot more than you are. It's a shame that you taking what used to be standalone script that could be installed with curl and forcing people to use CMake.

While I appreciate you trying to improve things for Gentoo, I think this may be overdoing it. The raspinfo script isn't essential, so it doesn't need to have perfect output on Gentoo. It would just be nice if it didn't blow up in your face.

I didn't get that intent sorry.
