Summary: Docs for SSL methods and objects

Initial Comment:
This is my try to fix bug #215026. Perhaps a link to
the OpenSSL homepage should be added somewhere (so we
don't have to explain all that private key and
certificate stuff in the docs ourselves).

I also think it should be indicated somewhere, that
Python's SSL implementation is incomplete, not to be
considered secure (certificates aren't checked) and
thus (at least I hope so :-), likely to be changed in
the future.
Did I already say that the SSL stuff looks quite broken?
