[docs] [issue12977] socket.socket.setblocking does not raise exception if no data available

[Florian Ludwig]

New submission from Florian Ludwig <florian at leijuna.de>:

The documentation states:

> In non-blocking mode, if a recv() call doesn’t find any data, [...], a error exception is raised; [0]

Which is wrong. If no data is available recv() does not raise an exception but returns an empty string.
