The ABI tag code as written will actually set it for PyPy (e.g. 'pp222mu')
since the SOABI config var is unset on it (and probably any other
non-Python-3 implementation). This was intentional since PyPy does actually
build some C Extensions, but I can limit SOABI detection to CPython if it
doesn't make sense to do it on PyPy.

However, I see now it will also be set for Jython, which it definitely
should not do, so I'll fix that regardless.

I'll create PRs for this against wheel and pip shortly. I can also work on
a PEP for the platform tag - I don't think it's going to need to be a big
one. Are there any preferences as to whether this should be a new PEP or an
update to 425?
