Bug #4246: Net::HTTP does not timeout during SSL connection handshake

=begin
If you open a SSL connection and it hangs while doing the SSL connection handshake then it does not timeout unless you end up hitting a TCP keepalive timeout.

The problem is that the open_timeout is only applied to the actual TCP socket being opened and not the SSL negotiation.

Also an issue in ruby 1.8.{6,7}.

Attached is a patch against 1.9.2. The patch also ensures that the socket gets closed if we error out in connect after it has been opened.

• File net.http.ssl.connection.repro.rb net.http.ssl.connection.repro.rb added

=begin
This script demonstrates the behavior. It opens a socket listening on port 6666, then opens a SSL connection to it. It should timeout after 5 seconds but it instead just hangs.
