Issue #23853: Methods of SSL socket don't reset the socket timeout anymore each

time bytes are received or sent. The socket timeout is now the maximum total
duration of the method.

This change fixes a denial of service if the application is regulary
interrupted by a signal and the signal handler does not raise an exception.
