[issue10084] SSL support for asyncore

Problem with SSL dispatcher subclasses used in tests is that they are all similar to pyftpdlib's SSLConnection class ( http://code.google.com/p/pyftpdlib/source/browse/trunk/pyftpdlib/contrib/handlers.py?spec=svn743&r=729#73 ) and I'm not sure it's API is suitable for a general use case. 
It fits well for pyftpdlib, servers in general and stdlib tests but I'm not sure about other uses cases.
In details I'm thinking about clients, secure connections reverted back to clear-text (e.g FTP might need this) and recent issues about certificates validation.
Before writing anything we should agree on an API and make sure it is able to cover all use cases.
