Summary: socket_htons does not work under AIX 64-bit

Initial Comment:
The socket tests fail for htons under AIX when Python 
is compiled for 64 bits (OBJECTMODE=64). It seems 
that this is easily (?) fixed if the socket_htons() 
code is modified to be close to the socket_ntohs() 
code in Modules/socketmodule.c. 

Please see the attachment for the change I did which 
allows the socketmodule.c to function as expected.
