Add OS.get_version_alias() to return a human-readable Windows/macOS version number

Browse Source 
Windows 11's major version number is actually 10.x.x, which can be confusing
if you don't know about this quirk. `OS.get_version_alias()` avoids this
by displaying the "branding" version number and the build number as a suffix,
so that individual updates can still be distinguished from each other.

On macOS, `OS.get_version_alias()` returns the version number prepended
with the version name (e.g. Sequoia for macOS 15).

On other operating systems, this returns the same value as `OS.get_version()`.

Returns the branded version used in marketing, followed by the build number (on Windows) or the version number (on macOS). Examples include [code]11 (build 22000)[/code] and [code]Sequoia (15.0.0)[/code]. This value can then be appended to [method get_name] to get a full, human-readable operating system name and version combination for the operating system. Windows feature updates such as 24H2 are not contained in the resulting string, but Windows Server is recognized as such (e.g. [code]2025 (build 26100)[/code] for Windows Server 2025).
