New submission from Christian Heimes:

I find it surprising that wrap_socket() doesn't verify the server name with 
match_hostname() when it is called with a server_name argument. The check 
should be done by default.

I suggest:

- add validate_hostname=True flag to wrap_socket() and functions that call 
wrap_socket()

- add SSLSocket.match_hostname(hostname=None) to validate hostname with current 
cert. hostname shall default to server_hostname
