We make the names and return types a little more consistent. We also add a lot more tracing calls to make issues with OS version detection easier to diagnose. It is not intended for any behavior changes to be in this commit. Ref #1427
I'm not quite sure how this was every working before. It's possible it has never worked, but that our other methods of OS detection were working. In any case, empirically, it seems that the version number components for musl can be a single digit. Fixes #1427

This PR fixes the OS detection for Alpine Linux such that the version
of musl available is correctly determined. The issue boiled down to
a regex that required 2 digits for each version component. But a
valid musl version is 1.2.4, which only has a single digit for each
component.
It's unclear how this was working for musl before this change. My
theory is that our other methods of OS detection were somehow working.
The first commit in this PR cleans up our Linux detection logic and adds
lots of tracing calls to make debugging issues like this easier in the
future. To do so, one can run:
The second commit has the actual fix.
Fixes #1427
