[issue39279] Don't allow non-Ascii digits in platform.py

[Ram Rachum]

Ram Rachum <ram at rachum.com> added the comment:

My approach is that any input that's unexpected by the developer but accepted by the program could cause either a bug or a security problem, and should be rejected by the program. I don't have a specific example for this case.

If you think I need to come up with a specific example where this can be misused, or show that there are no computers in the world that willingly use the version number with non-Ascii digits, I'll let this issue go.
