Break SSL support out of _socket module and place it into a new
helper module _ssl. The support for the RAND_* APIs in _ssl is now only enabled for OpenSSL 0.9.5 and up since they were added in that release. Note that socketmodule.* should really be renamed to _socket.* -- unfortunately, this seems to lose the CVS history of the file. Please review and test... I was only able to test the header file chaos in socketmodule.c/h on Linux. The test run through fine and compiles don't give errors or warnings. WARNING: This patch does *not* include changes to the various non-Unix build process files.
