[issue2451] No way to disable socket timeouts in httplib, etc.

Me:

"""
This should be done in such a way as to also fix the lack of
documentation of the None special value in the protocol modules
documentation (httplib, etc.).  I should have fixed that as part of this
patch, but ran out of time -- sorry!
"""

Erm, possibly the meaning and allowed values of the timeout arguments
would be more naturally documented by pointing to the socket
.settimeout() method docs, actually.
