Issue #12326: refactor usage of sys.platform
* Use str.startswith(tuple): I didn't know this Python feature, Python rocks!
* Replace sometimes sys.platform.startswith('linux') with
sys.platform == 'linux'
* sys.platform doesn't contain the major version on Cygwin on Mac OS X
(it's just 'cygwin' and 'darwin')

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.

Add a simple test for the packaging RECORD file.
The existing test_record is not easily extendable to add script files or
extension modules: it collects all files from fake_dists and generates a
RECORD file at runtime. I felt more comfortable adding a new test
written from scratch more self-contained (just one project with
well-defined files) and more stupid (the checksums and sizes are
computed once and hard-coded).

Minor cleanup
- Rename an attribute and create it in initialize_options instead of
finalize_options to match the other install_* classes
- Remove unnecessary method call in tests

Refactor the copying of xxmodule.c in packaging tests (#12141).
I need to copy this file in another test too, so I moved the support
code to distutils.tests.support and improved it to use proper skip
machinery instead of custom print/return/test suite fiddling.
Contrary to my similar change in distutils tests, I did not add support
for finding xxmodule.c when running a test from the tests directory,
because in that case my compiler didn’t find Python.h, so I figured it’s
better to skip than to fail.

Add a test for extension modules in the distutils record file.
I made a note a month ago that install --record wrote incorrect entries
for extension modules (I think the problem was that the first character
of the file was stripped), so I’m now adding a test to try to reproduce
that in the current versions.

Mention virtual subclasses in the glossary entry for ABCs (#12256).
I added a link from the term “virtual subclass” to the glossary entry
for ABCs but this was not enough, now the glossary briefly defines
“virtual” and links to the abc module doc which contains more mentions
of virtual subclasses.

Don’t quote characters twice.
``code`` markup is enough to mark command-line fragments or to talk
about a character. ``'c'`` is still used for actual Python string
objects. I did a similar change in optparse.rst in r86521.
I’ve also ported two minor changes from the 3.3 version of the file
(removing an unnecessary module name in a class directive, adding a
comma).

Improve “pysetup create” help messages.
The example version numbers were invalid and “package” was misused. I
also made lines shorter, replaced “e-mail” with “email” (more common in
the stdlib and I believe in English generally) and tweaked a few other
things.

Minor improvements to BadZipFile and BadZipfile docs.
I made the doc for the compat alias BadZipfile shorter and used a
directive to document deprecation.
I figured there was no point of talking about zipfile.error (“the old
name” that’s older than the other old name BadZipfile) in the 3.x docs
so I just removed it.
