[issue32394] socket lib beahavior change in 3.6.4

Nathaniel Smith <njs at pobox.com> added the comment:

I'm sympathetic to the idea that we don't want to carry around these checks, but also to the idea that this caused a regression in a micro release and that's not cool. Hence the idea that maybe we should keep everything the way it is in 3.7, but disable the new constants in 3.6, so that it arrives as part of a major release.

OTOH it's been in 3.6 for like 6 weeks already so I guess a lot of the affected parties are already working around it.
