sb/linux.py: Workaround for Python >= 3.8

The platform.dist() interface has been deprecated since Python 3.5, and

Fixes:

  File "/home/anders/work/rtems/rsb/source-builder/sb/options.py", line 682, in load
    overrides = linux.load()
  File "/home/anders/work/rtems/rsb/source-builder/sb/linux.py", line 60, in load
    distro = platform.dist()[0]
