[issue42853] `OverflowError: signed integer is greater than maximum` in ssl.py for files larger than 2GB

This fix is going to cause a regression of bpo-36050. Would it not be possible to fix this in _ssl.c (by breaking a large read into multiple smaller calls to SSL_read)? It seems like fixing this at the SSL layer is more appropriate than trying to work around it at the HTTP layer, and thus impacting the performance of all HTTP fetches (whether using TLS or not, and whether >2GB or not).
