bpo-35389: platform.libc_ver() uses os.confstr() (GH-10891)

platform.libc_ver() now uses os.confstr('CS_GNU_LIBC_VERSION') if
available and the *executable* parameter is not set. The default
value of the libc_ver() *executable* parameter becomes None.

Quick benchmark on Fedora 29:

python3 -m perf command ./python -S -c 'import platform; platform.libc_ver()'
94.9 ms +- 4.3 ms -> 33.2 ms +- 1.4 ms: 2.86x faster (-65%)
