[issue17762] platform.linux_distribution() should honor /etc/os-release

[Éric Araujo]

Éric Araujo added the comment:

os-release finally provides a cross-OS release file with a specification.  I think it should be authoritative, then the lsb-release system (it’s officially a script but many OSes just parse a static file), then OS-specific files.
