[issue23747] platform module exposes win32_ver function on posix systems

[Anand B Pillai]

New submission from Anand B Pillai:

>>> import platform
>>> platform.system()
'Linux'
>>> platform.win32_ver()
('', '', '', '')

Why is this function even exposed on Linux ? It should be conditionally exposed only on win32 platforms. 

Funny that this is coming from the module named "platform" itself :)
