[issue1706815] socket.error exceptions not subclass of StandardError

[Bill Janssen]

Bill Janssen added the comment:

It's not clear to me that having the SSL errors inherit from socket.error 
is a good idea.  Many of them have nothing to do with the socket, but are 
errors in choice of cipher, certificate validation, etc.
