[issue38780] SysLogHandler crash atexit

I started work on a test in https://github.com/jaraco/cpython/tree/bugfix/bpo-38780-test, but (a) the test was failing to exhibit the expected failures, and (b) I realized that the fix isn't having the intended effect either, because for unix sockets, [self.socket is unconditionally set](https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/dfdca85dfa64e72df385b3a486f85b773fc0f135/Lib/logging/handlers.py#L872), overriding any NullSocket or None value.

The SysLogHandler code will need to be reorganized if self.socket is intended to model two modes (broken and initialized).

I'm not sure when I'll get another chance to take a look at this, but I'll not be able to wrap it up today, so I'm going to unassign it for now.
