[issue5347] SocketIO redefines RawIOBase.__del__

[Antoine Pitrou]

New submission from Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr>:

SocketIO defines its own __del__ while it could simply rely on
IOBase.__del__ to do the right thing.

I'm saying this because in the C version of the io lib, there is no
__del__ anymore, so that SocketIO objects caught in a ref cycle wouldn't
block the GC from collecting the objects.
