bpo-35967 resolve platform.processor late (GH-12239)

* Replace flag-flip indirection with direct inspection

* Use any for simpler code

* Avoid flag flip and set results directly.

* Resolve processor in a single function.

* Extract processor handling into a namespace (class)

* Remove _syscmd_uname, unused

* Restore platform.processor behavior to match prior expectation (reliant on uname -p in a subprocess).

* Extract '_unknown_as_blank' function.

* Override uname_result to resolve the processor late.

* Add a test intended to capture the expected values from 'uname -p'

* Instead of trying to keep track of all of the possible outputs on different systems (probably a fool's errand), simply assert that except for the known platform variance, uname().processor matches the output of 'uname -p'

* Use a skipIf directive

* Use contextlib.suppress to suppress the error. Inline strip call.

* 📜🤖 Added by blurb_it.

* Remove use of contextlib.suppress (it would fail with NameError if it had any effect). Rely on _unknown_as_blank to replace unknown with blank.
