Research direction

Review the standard-library and test references to sys.platform described in issue 36624, then inspect the related PRs 12843 and 13648 for existing work. Determine the remaining cleanup scope across the library and tests; the work is done when the intended usage is cleaned up and the relevant tests pass.
