BUG: allow to overwrite macOS platform tag via _PYTHON_HOST_PLATFORM

Use sysconfig.get_platform() instead of platform.mac_ver() to base the
platform tag computation.  The ability to overwrite the value returned
by former via the _PYTHON_HOST_PLATFORM environment variable is used
in macOS extension modules cross-compilation.

See mesonbuild#222 for background.
