test_timeout uses www.python.org as a Guinea pig for its socket tests.
Unfortunately sometimes www.python.org is down, which gives the
following kind of failures (seen on a buildbot recently):

test test_timeout failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\buildslave\3.x.moore-windows\build\lib\test\test_timeout.py",
line 133, in testRecvTimeout
    self.sock.connect(self.addr_remote)
socket.error: [Errno 10060] A connection attempt failed because the
connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or
established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond

test_timeout should catch the error and simply skip the test with an
appropriate message.

There's a similar problem with test_smtpnet which uses gmail as its
remote SMTP-SSL provider.

Hello,
as discussed on irc, I'm proposing a patch that:

- wraps the test with support.transient_internet
- limits the assert to only socket.timeout (what we want to test)

test_smptnet.py is already fixed, since it already uses support.transient_internet

Regards,
Sandro
