[issue24684] socket.getaddrinfo(host) doesn't ensure that host.encode() returns a byte string

[Chris Angelico]

Chris Angelico added the comment:

ISTM this is a case where Python's core shouldn't be using assert. It's possible for userland code to trigger an assertion failure, which means it should be a regular if(..) raise. Patch attached.

@haypo, what do you mean by "fuzzing"? Is there something I've missed here?
