Add test.test_support.transient_internet . Returns a context manager that

nests test.test_support.TransientResource context managers that capture
exceptions raised when the Internet connection is flaky.

Initially using in test_socket_ssl but should probably be expanded to cover any
test that should not raise the captured exceptions if the Internet connection
works.
