[issue2585] urllib2.HTTPError broken due to urllib.addinfourl changes

[djc]

New submission from djc <dirkjan at ochtman.nl>:

djc at enrai tests $ python2.6
Python 2.6a2+ (trunk, Apr  4 2008, 20:21:45)

>>> import urllib2
>>> try:
...     urllib2.urlopen('http://example.com/weird')
... except urllib2.HTTPError, inst:
...     print inst.code
...
None
>>>

urllib.addinfourl.__init__() was changed in r60133 to set self.code.
Unfortunately, this overrides HTTPError.code, which is probably not good.
