Summary: urllib2.AbstractHTTPHandler broken

Initial Comment:
urllib2.AbstractHTTPHandler lost half of a change that
went in with patch 852995 in 1.57.  The attached patch
fixes it again.

Jeremy removed half of that change in 1.63.  Looks like
he mistakenly thought it was a bug he introduced in
1.59.  In fact, the change introduced in 1.63 broke
HTTP error handling.  To reproduce the bug, run the
tests at the end of urllib2.py

The issue is that AbstractHTTPHandler no longer handles
HTTP errors.  HTTPErrorProcessor does that now.

Seems nobody remembers to run those tests.  I wonder
again whether at least some of them should live in the
main test suite.
