package/python-distro: new package

python-distro provides information about the OS distribution it runs on,
such as a reliable machine-readable ID, or version information.

It is the recommended replacement for Python's original
platform.linux_distribution function (removed in Python 3.8). It also
provides much more functionality which isn't necessarily Python bound,
like a command-line interface.
