More work on SSL support. * Much expanded test suite: All protocols tested against all other protocols. All protocols tested with all certificate options. Tests for bad key and bad cert. Test of STARTTLS functionality. Test of RAND_* functions. * Fixes for threading/malloc bug. * Issue 1065 fixed: sslsocket class renamed to SSLSocket. sslerror class renamed to SSLError. Function "wrap_socket" now used to wrap an existing socket. * Issue 1583946 finally fixed: Support for subjectAltName added. Subject name now returned as proper DN list of RDNs. * SSLError exported from socket as "sslerror". * RAND_* functions properly exported from ssl.py. * Documentation improved: Example of how to create a self-signed certificate. Better indexing.
