[issue5639] Support TLS SNI extension in ssl module

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

Mark, thanks for the patch. However, unless exceptional situations, we don't
backport features to bugfix branches.
The next Python 2.7 version will probably not be released before 2014, so even
if your patch were integrated, widespread deployment would still be delayed
significantly. By contrast, Python 3.2 has SNI support and it was released in
February 2011.
