Implementation of an API to get the device ID/name

[cozimus]

I was wondering if it could be useful to add an API to get the current device ID or device name (if it's still doens't exist).
e.g. for windows you could use:

• platform.node() for the device name
• uuid.getnode() for the device ID
  And those two should also work on Linux (sadly, I can't test them)

For android I thought at some implementation of:

• android.os.Build.MODEL for the device name. I believe briefcase already has it implemented, since it shows it when you run briefcase run android, but I may get it wrong
• Settings.Secure.ANDROID_ID for device ID

No clue about how to implement on macOS and iOS.
Any advice? Do you think it should be useful?
Thanks to everyone :)

Thanks for the suggestion; however, I don't think there's anything extra required here in Toga.

As part of the work on PEP 730 and PEP 738, you'll be able to get device detail either as part of platform.node(), or via the platform.ios_ver() and platform.android_ver() methods. This information is already available on macOS and Linux, with macOS also providing platform.mac_ver()`.

That would definitively do the job, I'm looking forward to use them in the future! :)
