In Python 3.5.3, a socket with type AF_CAN returns a tuple in the form `(interface, )` from getsockname().  In Python 3.7.3, getsockname() returns a string (the name of the interface).  The documentation states "a tuple is used for the AF_CAN address family".  The string will break code that worked in 3.5.3 by raising errors such as "Value Error: too many values to unpack (expected 2)".

Example:

#3.5.3
import socket
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_CAN, socket.SOCK_RAW, socket.CAN_RAW)
s.bind(('vcan0',)) # requires tuple
s.getsockname() # returns tuple: ('vcan0', 29)

#3.7.3
import socket
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_CAN, socket.SOCK_RAW, socket.CAN_RAW)
s.bind(('vcan0',)) # requires tuple
s.getsockname() # returns string: 'vcan0'

This test was overlooked, and line 2052 should now be removed per the discussion here:

https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/14392#issuecomment-506133908

In short, getsockname() used to return `(interface, socket.AF_CAN)`, in which the socket.AF_CAN element was superfluous (also undocumented), so it was removed in the fix, and the tuple format was reinstated.
