Fix clang-cl version in sys.version on Windows

[chris-eibl]

Bug report

Bug description:

Since version 22, clang-cl on Windows includes the repo url and commit hash in __clang_version__ like

22.1.3 (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project e9846648fd6183ee6d8cbdb4502213fcf902a211)

versus just 21.1.4. before.

This results in sys.version being truncated

__clang_version__ is used in

cpython/PC/pyconfig.h

Line 161 in 7bfa97f

#define _Py_COMPILER ("[Clang " __clang_version__ "] 64 bit (AMD64) with MSC v." _Py_STRINGIZE(_MSC_VER) " CRT]")

exposed via getcompiler.c and then truncated in

cpython/Python/getversion.c

Lines 17 to 23 in 7bfa97f

	#ifdef Py_GIL_DISABLED
	const char *buildinfo_format = "%.80s free-threading build (%.80s) %.80s";
	#else
	const char *buildinfo_format = "%.80s (%.80s) %.80s";
	#endif
	PyOS_snprintf(version, sizeof(version), buildinfo_format,
	PY_VERSION, Py_GetBuildInfo(), Py_GetCompiler());

3.16.0a0 (heads/main:7bfa97f4dc, Sep 12 2026, 16:30:16) [Clang 22.1.3 (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project e9846648fd6183ee6d8cbdb45022 on win32

versus

3.16.0a0 (heads/main:7bfa97f4dc, Sep 12 2026, 16:32:39) [Clang 21.1.4 ] 64 bit (AMD64) with MSC v.1951 CRT] on win32

A lot of code depends on being able to parse the now missing 64 bit (AMD64) part (#145410, #154200, #154199, ...). Let's restore the old behaviour and fix the stray ] as well:

3.16.0a0 (heads/fix_clang_version:e1b196dfab, Sep 12 2026, 16:28:42) [Clang 22.1.3 64 bit (AMD64) with MSC v.1951 CRT] on win32

This also fixes the failing test_single_line_statement of @zware's AMD64 Windows Server 2025 Clang 3.x buildbot (and would also fix all the failing tests of the 3.14 and 3.15 Windows clang buildbots).

CPython versions tested on:

JYFI, if you're planning to fix this yourself I suggest you assign yourself, otherwise agents have a habit of sending PRs for such things...

Hope I was faster :)

Adding OS-unsupported again since @encukou ask me to do so for clang-cl issues in #154210 (comment).

Aargh, sorry, that makes sense!
