[BinaryPlatforms] Change "shortest match" algorithm to "best match"
My assertion in the previous attempt to fix this issue was incorrect:
> We define a simpler match as one that has fewer tags overall.
> As these candidate matches have already been filtered to match the
> given platform, the only other tags that exist are ones that are in
> addition to the tags declared by the platform. Hence, selecting the
> minimum in number of tags is equivalent to selecting the closest match.
This is demonstrably false, by my own test case:
```
platforms = Dict(
Platform("x86_64", "linux") => "bad",
Platform("x86_64", "linux"; sanitize="memory") => "good",
)
select_platform(platforms, Platform("x86_64", "linux"; sanitize="memory")) == "good"
```
In this case, because there exists a candidate that is _more general_
than the provided platform type, the shortest match is no longer the
best match.
This PR performs a more rigorous matching that works more reliably in
all cases.
