[PATCH RESEND 0/1] SB: More reliably recognize distribution

[Michael South]

(Hopefully avoid line wrap this time.)

Fix #4966: SB doesn't recognize distros Python 3.8

If build host has Python >= 3.8 then Source builder could not very
reliably determine paths for OS utilities such as bzip2. Problem was that
"package.dist()", formerly used to determine the Linux distribution,
was removed in Python 3.8. Patch makes sb/linux.py now prefer to use the
"distro" package if it's available. "distro" is avail since python 3.6,
was also back-ported for 2.6.
