Title:
  Provide "version_detail" for latest revision on server

Status in system-image package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Currently, the Information() D-Bus method provides the following
  something like:

  current_build_number"="129"
  device_name"="generic_amd64"
  target_build_number"="131"
  version_detail"="ubuntu=20141205.1,raw-device=20141205.1,version=129"
  channel_name"="ubuntu-core/devel"
  last_update_date"="2014-12-05 05:26:42"
  last_check_date"="2014-12-05 15:41:43"

  Ideally, it would also provide "version_detail" for the latest
  revision on the server, that is version_detail for
  target_build_number.

  Even more ideally, it would break version_detail into chunks.
  Something like:

  current_ubuntu_version=ubuntu=20141205.1
  current_raw_device_version=20141205.1

  ... and for the latest revision found on the server, something like:

  target_ubuntu_version=ubuntu=20141205.9
  target_raw_device_version=20141205.2

  For bonus points, this information would also be available via
  'system-image-cli -i', maybe requiring an addition option like '--
  full' to avoid breaking existing consumers of 'system-image-cli -i'
  output.

  Note that the command-line accessibility is potentially more important
  than the D-Bus interface due to the fact that system-image-cli -i
  provides the '-C' option to point it at an alternative installation.
