  Remove the sys.version_info shortcut, since they cause the APIs
  to return different information than the _sys_version() output
  used in previous Python versions.

  This also fixes issue5561: platform.python_version_tuple returns tuple of ints, should be strings

  Added more tests for the various platform functions.
