bpo-11192: Skip unsupported cases in test_socket on AIX (GH-8954)
* use platform.system() as runtime test, rather than sys.platform() build-time test * IPv6 zone id support on AIX is limited to inet_pton6_zone(), so skip related getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo() tests as not supported

+Fix `test_socket` on AIX
+AIX 6.1 and later IPv6 zone id supports only supported by inet_pton6_zone()
+Switch to runtime-based platform.system() to establish current platform
+ rather than build-time based sys.platform()
