[New-bugs-announce] [issue18259] Declare sethostname in socketmodule.c for AIX

[David Edelsohn]

New submission from David Edelsohn:

AIX provides sethostname() but it is not declared in any useful header. Fixed as follows:

     if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "S:sethostname", &hnobj)) {
         PyErr_Clear();
         if (!PyArg_ParseTuple(args, "O&:sethostname",

It seemed best to declare it inside the function. I placed it below the other declarations, not immediately before the function use.
