[issue5639] Support TLS SNI extension in ssl module

[Jean-Paul Calderone]

Jean-Paul Calderone <exarkun at twistedmatrix.com> added the comment:

Here's another possible approach:

ctx = ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1)
ctx.set_tlsext_host_name("foo.bar")
skt = ctx.wrap_socket(socket.socket())
skt.connect("bar.baz")

This makes it obvious what the SNI hostname is and what the TCP address to connect to is, and they can easily be different.
