The socket module now always uses the _socketobject wrapper class, even on

platforms which have dup(2).  The makefile() method is built directly on top
of the socket without duplicating the file descriptor, allowing timeouts to
work properly.  Includes a new test case (urllibnet) which requires the
network resource.

Closes bug 707074.
