[docs] [issue12706] timeout sentinel in ftplib and poplib

[Senthil Kumaran]

New submission from Senthil Kumaran <senthil at uthcode.com>:

- ftplib and poplib, has them as timeout=None, while they default                                                                               
 to socket._GLOBAL_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT object.                                                                                                           
                                                                                                                                                      
This is wrong; someone may pass None thinking it will trigger the                                                                                     
default behaviour, and have nasty surprises.
