[issue1322] Deprecate platform.dist() and platform.linux_distribution() functions

[Nir Cohen]

Nir Cohen added the comment:

I have a premliminary implementation of it: https://github.com/nir0s/ld

Would love some help. It tries to use adhere to the standards (os-release first, lsb-release later, then, distro-specific release files).

It also returns more types of values then there were before.
