[issue14984] netrc module allows read of non-secured .netrc file

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

Here is an updated patch, with docs and test.

Turns out it actually wasn't necessary to move the check to the password, but I'm leaving it that way anyway.  The reason it wasn't necessary is that we don't actually parse the .netrc file correctly: we require that the password field be present.  So I'll want to fix *that* bug in some version of python, in which case the test should then be in the password check where I have it now...
