[issue6192] add disable_nagle_algorithm to SocketServer.TCPServer

[Kristján Valur Jónsson]

New submission from Kristján Valur Jónsson <kristjan at ccpgames.com>:

It is useful to be able to disable the Nagle algoritm on socket 
connections from the TCPServer.  These are typically used by HTTP servers.

If combined with write buffering (setting RequestHangler.wbufsize = -1) it  
can make sure that http responses are not subject to Nagle/Delayed-ack 
delays.  Disabling Nagle in addition to providing the buffering is 
necessary to make sure that the final wfile.flush() arrives promptly, in 
case a previous flush occurred and the final flush is small.

A patch is provided.
