[issue12326] Linux 3: tests should avoid using sys.platform == 'linux2'

[STINNER Victor]

STINNER Victor <victor.stinner at haypocalc.com> added the comment:

Why should be used instead?
 - sys.platform.startswith('linux')
 - os.uname()[0] == 'Linux'
 - platform.system() == 'Linux'
 - other?

Tests like sys.platform in ('linux2', 'darwin') can be replaced by sys.platform in ('linux2', 'linux3', 'darwin'). We will have to patch this test again for Linux 4.
