[bpo-28414] Make all hostnames in SSL module IDN A-labels (GH-5128)
Previously, the ssl module stored international domain names (IDNs) as U-labels. This is problematic for a number of reasons -- for example, it made it impossible for users to use a different version of IDNA than the one built into Python. After this change, we always convert to A-labels as soon as possible, and use them for all internal processing. In particular, server_hostname attribute is now an A-label, and on the server side there's a new sni_callback that receives the SNI servername as an A-label rather than a U-label.
