[issue4879] Allow buffering for HTTPResponse

[Kristján Valur Jónsson]

The socket.socket.makefile() now returns a quite different kind of 
object, namely a SocketIO thing.  This comes as a result of the IO 
refactoring in 3.0.
The good side to this is that old and naughty apps have been forbidden 
to access the _sock member directly.  This was the reason that we had 
to disable read buffering in 2.x:  Some clients would read directly 
from the socket, even though it was "hidden".

As for the test failure, I admit that I didn't enable the "network" 
resource for the testsuite.  Will fix.

Btw, test_xmlrpc_net.py fails, because time.xmlrpc.com doesn't 
resolve.  Are there any other good and stable rpc servers out there?
