Summary: Fix bogus address to hopefully always break

Initial Comment:
VeriSign's new Site Finder service breaks the 

test_urllibnet.urlopenNetworkTests.test_bad_address test. 

Since the bogus test address is in the ".com" TLD, even 

though it is a nonexistent second-level domain name, it gets 

resolved to VeriSign's Site Finder web page and so the 

expected IOError is not raised.



I changed the intentionally bogus address, 

"www.sadflkjsasadf.com", to "www.python.invalid" in the 

hopes that this will always be invalid. The ".invalid" TLD is 

reserved for such a purpose according to RFC 2606, 

"Reserved Top Level DNS Names".
