socket.sendall() returns None if it succeeded <https://docs.python.org/3/library/socket.html#socket.socket.sendall>
SSLSocket.sendall() is said to have the same behavior as socket.sendall(), besides not allowing flags <https://docs.python.org/3/library/ssl.html#ssl.SSLSocket>

However, SSLSocket.sendall() returns the amount of bytes written on success.

Changed SSLSocket.sendall() to return None. Also added a check of the return value of the SSLSocket.send(), SSLSocket.sendall() in the tests.

Agreed that the documentation and implementation should match. But this seems like a rather low-priority bug. What use case relies on the return value being None?

If there is no immediate need for this change, it might be safer to just make it in 3.6, to minimize compatibility problems. But if it is fixed in 3.5 it should also be fixed in 2.7.

I left some suggestions to simplify the code.

Thanks for the review.
I don't have any use cases for this change. I just saw this issue while looking for something else and thought I will give it a try.

Thanks for your work Aviv. This version looks good to me.

I made some simple tweaks to avoid long lines.
