[issue39825] EXT_SUFFIX inconsistent between sysconfig and distutils.sysconfig (Windows)

[Michael Felt]

Michael Felt <aixtools at felt.demon.nl> added the comment:

Looking at https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/22088/files

imho: the patch forced Windows behavior ("""Initialize the module as appropriate for NT""") to be equivalent to vars['SO'] - which is what the test used to compare.

So, likely the change to the tests would be to have one for NT (per the comment in Lib/sysconfig.py) and the prior test set to be skipped if the platform is `NT` aka non_posix.
