Some confusion arose handling EINTR on this function: in python 2.6
socket.error is an IOError, and thus:
  - It's an EnvironmentError
  - It has an .errno member

In 2.4 and 2.5 it's not, and so its errno variable must be extracted
from the args tuple. This patch fixes both the function, and the
unittests.

This is a cherry-pick of master commit
965d0e5b

 with the portions not relevant
to 2.1 removed (changes to the RetryOnSignals function).
