bpo-1294959: Add sys.platlibdir attribute (GH-18381)
Add --with-platlibdir option to the configure script: name of the
platform-specific library directory, stored in the new sys.platlitdir
attribute. It is used to build the path of platform-specific dynamic
libraries and the path of the standard library.
It is equal to "lib" on most platforms. On Fedora and SuSE, it is
equal to "lib64" on 64-bit systems.
