[Python-ideas] Show more info when `python -vV`

[tritium-list at sdamon.com]

For all intents and purposes other than debugging C (for cpython, rpython
for pypy, java for jython, .NET for IronPython... you get the idea), the
extra details are unnecessary to debug most problems.  Most of the time it
is sufficient to know what major, minor, and patchlevel you are using.  You
only really need to know the commit hash and compiler if you are sending a
bug report about the C... and since you know when you are doing that... I
don't think its uncalled for to have the one liner.
