[New-bugs-announce] [issue31872] SSL BIO is broken for internationalized domains

New submission from Andrew Svetlov <andrew.svetlov at gmail.com>:

`SSLContext.wrap_bio` creates a new `SSLObject` instance with passed `server_hostname`.
The name becomes IDNA-decoded: `'xn--2qq421aovb6v1e3pu.xn--j6w193g'` is converted to `'雜草工作室.香港'` by `SSLObject` constructor.

Than on SSL handshake `ssl.match_hostname()` is called with `sslobject.server_hostname` parameter (`'雜草工作室.香港'` in my example).

But certificate for the site is contains IDNA-encoded DNS names:

                    ('DNS', 'xn--hhrw16aw6jizf.xn--j6w193g')),
 'version': 3}
```

Match `'雜草工作室.香港'` to `('DNS', 'xn--2qq421aovb6v1e3pu.xn--j6w193g')` obviously fails.

I see two possible solutions:

1. Always do IDNA encoding for `server_hostname` stored in ssl object.
2. Do two checks for both IDNA and original server hostname values. I don't sure if certificates always use IDNA-encoded DNS names only.

The fix is trivial, I'll make a Pull Request after choosing what option we want to support. Personally I'm inclined to second one.

P.S.
`requests` library is not affected because it uses `ssl.wrap_socket`.
The bug is reproducible for `asyncio` only (and maybe Tornado with `asyncio` `IOLoop`).
