testutils/platform: Refactor to be compatible with Python 3.9

Chandan Singh requested to merge chandan/py39-platform into master

Starting from Python 3.9, it seems like the _replace() method no longer works on platform.uname_result objects, that are returned by platform.uname(). This causes some of our tests to fail on Python 3.9. See https://bugs.python.org/issue42163 for upstream issue.

Fix it by slightly changing the way we override the values of the platform.uname() function, such that it works on both Python 3.9 and 3.8 (and below).

Update: I can now confirm that this is the only patch that we need to make our tests pass on 3.9.
