[New-bugs-announce] [issue18616] enable more ssl socket options with get_server_certificate

[Derek Wilson]

New submission from Derek Wilson:

ssl.get_server_certificate does not allow advanced options like what ciphers to use (for ssl2 for instance) or SNI for virtual hosts with multiple ssl sites on one IP address.

Adding **kwargs enables any current and future SSLSocket options to be passed along to the underlying connection. wrap_socket doesn't include all the options (npn and sni for instance), so I use SSLSocket instead.
