[issue12795] Remove the major version from sys.platform

[STINNER Victor]

While working on #12326, it's realized that many modules and applications rely on sys.platform. Change this value should be decided for each platform because it breaks backward compatibility. Linux was a special case and now I don't think that we should drop the major version from sys.platform on all platforms. Let's close this issue as "wont fix".

----------
resolution:  -> wont fix
status: open -> closed
