[Bug #1613651 ] Document socket.recv_into, socket.recvfrom_into
...
Also, the text for recvfrom told you to read recv() for an explanation of the
'flags' argument, but recv() just pointed you at the man page. Copied the
man-page text to recvfrom(), recvfrom_into, recv_into to avoid the pointless
redirection.
I don't have LaTeX on this machine; hope my markup is OK.

Patch by Jp Calderone:

- The socket module now provides the functions inet_pton and inet_ntop
for converting between string and packed representation of IP addresses.
See SF patch #658327 .
This still needs a bit of work in the doc area, because it is not
available on all platforms (especially not on Windows).

Major overhaul of timeout sockets:
...
- setblocking(0) and settimeout(0) are now equivalent, and ditto for
setblocking(1) and settimeout(None).
- Don't raise an exception from internal_select(); let the final call
report the error (this means you will get an EAGAIN error instead of
an ETIMEDOUT error -- I don't care).
- Move the select to inside the Py_{BEGIN,END}_ALLOW_THREADS brackets,
so other theads can run (this was a bug in the original code).
- Redid the retry logic in connect() and connect_ex() to avoid masking
errors. This probably doesn't work for Windows yet; I'll fix that
next. It may also fail on other platforms, depending on what
retrying a connect does; I need help with this.
- Get rid of the retry logic in accept(). I don't think it was needed
at all. But I may be wrong.

SF patch 555085 (timeout socket implementation) by Michael Gilfix.
...
I've made considerable changes to Michael's code, specifically to use
the select() system call directly and to store the timeout as a C
double instead of a Python object; internally, -1.0 (or anything
negative) represents the None from the API.
I'm not 100% sure that all corner cases are covered correctly, so
please keep an eye on this. Next I'm going to try it Windows before
Tim complains.
No way is this a bugfix candidate. :-)
