[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] package/pkg-python: fix get_platform for target builds

[James Hilliard]

Replicate the logic used to set _PYTHON_HOST_PLATFORM in configure.ac:
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/v3.10.2/configure.ac#L441-L446

This should correctly set the sysconfig platform for cross builds:
https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/v3.10.2/Lib/sysconfig.py#L704-L706

Not setting this appears to cause distutils/setuptools to use the
wrong build directory names for c extensions, however this doesn't
seem to cause build or runtime errors as the installation paths still
appear to be correct for staging/target installs.
