[issue17762] platform.linux_distribution() should honor /etc/os-release

Hi Andrei Duma,

I have looked at your patch but have not tested it yet. But it seems to me that your patch is a little bit weak against the case where the file /etc/os-release is found, but not fully functional (either garbage, or only releases NAME information but not VERSION).

But again, I am not so sure we should really bit pedantic about this or not. Need to do some investigation.
