[issue19143] Finding the Windows version getting messier (detect windows 8.1?)

[Steve Dower]

(Was reminded about this by #23417)

Any word on the back compat issues in platform.py? Can we make the version in 3.5 only work with Vista+, or do I need to handle XP in case someone takes the file onto an earlier Python version?
