Close #12326: sys.platform is now always 'linux' on Linux

On Linux, sys.platform doesn't contain the major version anymore. It is now
always 'linux', instead of 'linux2' or 'linux3' depending on the Linux version
used to build Python.

* Issue #12326: On Linux, sys.platform doesn't contain the major version
anymore. It is now always 'linux', instead of 'linux2' or 'linux3' depending
on the Linux version used to build Python. Replace sys.platform == 'linux2'
with sys.platform.startswith('linux'), or directly sys.platform == 'linux' if
you don't need to support older Python versions.
