Return information about the current OS distribution as a tuple
`(id_name, version, codename)` with items as follows:
`id_name`: If *full_distribution_name* is false, the result of
:func:distro.id. Otherwise, the result of :func:distro.name.
`version`: The result of :func:distro.version.
`codename`: The result of :func:distro.codename.
The interface of this function is compatible with the original
:py:func:platform.linux_distribution function, supporting a subset of
its parameters.
The data it returns may not exactly be the same, because it uses more data
sources than the original function, and that may lead to different data if
the OS distribution is not consistent across multiple data sources it
provides (there are indeed such distributions ...).
Another reason for differences is the fact that the :func:distro.id
method normalizes the distro ID string to a reliable machine-readable value
for a number of popular OS distributions.
