replace platform.dist with platform.libc_ver()

print/hplip pkg installs ok, printing works, but hp-toolbox crashes.

Problem is in base/password.py which calls depreciated/non-existent
platform.dist()

Changing that to platform.libc_vers() makes hp-tools start without problem.

I’m not sure should distro.linux_distribution() be removed as well.
