Convert AbstractPlatform to Platform

[mkitti]

This pull request hardens Pkg.jl from invalidations involving AbstractPlatform. When AbstractPlatform is used as the type of a keyword argument, Julia may not
specialize on the type.

This pull request inserts convert(Platform, platform)::Platform to all functions that take platform::AbstractPlatform as a keyword argument.

I'm highlighting this change.

Here we convert most of the AbstractPlatform subtypes to Platform by unwrapping them.

The one outlier is UnknownPlatform but there is another pull request to address that.

[IanButterworth]

@mkitti what's the status of this?

[mkitti]

We might not need it.

[IanButterworth]

Ok. I also see these:

Can any be closed? Obviously they can be reopened if plans change

#3742
#3872
#3873

[mkitti]

It is not clear to me whether general conversion to Platform would be compatible with BinaryBuilder 2. Thus, I suggest closing.
