[issue5472] distutils.test_util fails to restore os.uname

New submission from Tim Golden <mail at timgolden.me.uk>:

lib\distutils\tests\test_util.py, run as part of the full testsuite, 
creates a stub os.uname on an OS which doesn't support it natively.
However, it fails to restore it correctly -- ie fails to delete the
attribute. As a result, test_platform and test_pep352 fail when run
as a part of regrtest, since they rely on os.uname raising an
AttributeError on, eg, Windows.

Patch attached against r70302 of lib\distutils\tests\test_util.py
