[telemetry] Add new GITPOD_INSTALLATION_PLATFORM telemetry variable

Fixes #10766

This PR adds a new `GITPOD_INSTALLATION_PLATFORM` env variable, that
is then transmitted by the `gitpod-telemetry` job as the `platform`
property into our telemetry store. The value of this env variable
is then overrided by each install method.

This env can have the following values:
- `installer` by default as when the installation is done directly
  through the installer, We don't have enough information
   about the environment.
-  [One of the `distribution` values](https://docs.replicated.com/reference/template-functions-static-context#distribution)
   when done through `kots`. This would have the distribution in which
   Gitpod is being installed, and is dependent on `kots`.
- `local-preview` when the installation is done through the new
   preview install method.

As the changes show in the PR, each installation method overrides
the value.
