Trivial change with (almost) no effect.

The method signature for _get_socket in the SMTP class in stmplib.py is 

def _get_socket(self, port, host, timeout)

It should be:

def _get_socket(self, host, port, timeout)

Evidence:
1) It calls socket.create_connection((port, host), ....) but socket.create_connection expects (host, port).
2) The only time it is called in smtplib.py, it is called as self._get_socket(host, port, self.timeout)
3) In the derived class SMTP_SSL, it is defined as (self, host, port, timeout)


I wrote _almost_ no effect because the debugging output from it will now be in the right order (host, port).

Patch wrt python svn trunk follows:
