[issue40578] Deprecate numeric item access for platform.uname()

[Jason R. Coombs]

In https://github.com/jaraco/cpython/tree/bc73729eb9, I started drafting a proposed implementation to address this concern, but ran into a snag - the tests immediately reveal that `tuple(platform.uname())` invokes `__len__`, triggering the deprecation warning... so deprecating it while supporting `tuple(result)` may not be possible.
