[issue8573] Buggy _strerror in asyncore

[Giampaolo Rodola']

Good catch. I modified your patch a little bit including a catch for OverflowError exception and a last attempt to look up into errno.errorcode:

def _strerror(err):
    try:
        return strerror(err)
    except (ValueError, OverflowError):
        if err in errorcode:
            return errorcode[err]
        return "Unknown error %s" %err

Josiah, what do you think?
