rbd-target-api: switch to use distro to get the release version

[lxbsz]

The 'platform.linux_distribution()' has been deprecated since python 3.7. And we should switch to use the distro.version(), distro.id() and distro.name() instead.

[lxbsz]

You'll also need to add python3-distro to the spec "Requires:" section (it's not a builtin library, but it is distro-packaged).

Okay, just missed the spec. Fixed it.

[dmick]

The package is called "python3-distro"

[lxbsz]

The package is called "python3-distro"

Please see https://packages.fedoraproject.org/pkgs/python-distro/.

Both the python3-distro and python2-distro are subpackages of the python-distro. I have tested it on both centos and fedora and it worked:

[xiubli@localhost src]$ sudo dnf reinstall python-distro

I don't understand why this centos 8.stream host is different:

Okay, so my way won't work for all the cases. I will update it. Thanks for your feedback.
