The function platform.linux_distribution was scheduled for removal in 3.7, but didn't make it. But it can be removed it in 3.8.
Also remove some test_ssl infrastructure that depends on it (@tiran knows about the skip_if_broken_ubuntu_ssl removal).

Alright! With input from Marc-Andre the platform maintainer (on the bug), Christian the ssl maintainer (in person) and Łukasz the release manager (in person), I'm comfortable merging this :)

The distro package is now recommended in Python documentation
as a replacement for `platform.linux_distribution`. See:

* https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/platform.html#platform.linux_distribution
* python/cpython#6669

Also, `platform.linux_distribution` is removed from
Python 3.8 (which is not released yet). See:

* https://docs.python.org/3.8/library/platform.html
* python/cpython#6871

Reflect this in `distro`'s README and docstring.
