[issue45772] socket.socket should be a class instead of a function

[Oleg Iarygin]

New submission from Oleg Iarygin <oleg at arhadthedev.net>:

Found a twice stale bpo-less but useful pull request 23960, so publish it here:

> Currently socket.socket is documented as a function, but it is really
a class (and thus has function-like usage to construct an object). This
correction would ensure that Python projects that are interlinking
Python's documentation can properly locate socket.socket as a type.
