Update reference to distutils

[hauntsaninja]

https://packaging.python.org/en/latest/specifications/platform-compatibility-tags/#platform-tag needs an alternative to distutils.util.get_platform()

sysconfig.get_platform() seems to be a good alternative. The code is nearly identical, the only difference being distutils accesses the windows environment variable VSCMD_ARG_TGT_ARCH. The result of that seems, at this point in time, to be immaterial given how it's used? It could give a different result compared to sysconfig at some point, but I think distutils deprecation prevents that becoming an issue.

If that seems a suitable alternative, happy to make an update on the platform tags page.

By the way, this here will also need an update. I think it should be removed completely.

People will still see references to distutils and will want to know what it was. So I do not think it should be removed. Updated for sure, but not removed.

Sure, please do it!
