VSO as system Shell

To use VSO as your system shell, you can copy the usr/bin/vso-os-shell script to your system's /usr/bin directory and set it as your default shell. Your image needs to implement the usr/bin/os-shell script, which will expand the $SHELL environment variable, this is much needed for login shells and other flags, this also ensures that the user's default shell is respected.

Our vso-image already implements this script.
