[issue15118] uname and other os functions should return a struct sequence instead of a tuple

[Larry Hastings]

Larry Hastings <larry at hastings.org> added the comment:

Okay, this patch is definitely ready.  Changes from the last patch:
* The two return types are now exposed in the os module (os.uname_result
  and os.times_result) and are permanently on even if os.uname() or
  os.times() are not available.
* I updated the library to use the field names where appropriate.
  Fun trivia: there are no uses of os.times() in the library--not even
  in the regression test suite.

Of course, with the patch applied python passes the entire regression test suite.  (Of course!)

Can I get a review?
