Python 2.7 doesn't support properly OpenSSL 1.1.1 yet, see:

* PR 10607
* PR 10608

I would prefer to have _ssl.OP_ENABLE_MIDDLEBOX_COMPAT rather than have an 
hardcoded constant in test_ssl. In master, test_ssl has been fixed and the 
constant has been added by:

    bpo-32947: OpenSSL 1.1.1-pre1 / TLS 1.3 fixes (#5663)
    
    * bpo-32947: OpenSSL 1.1.1-pre1 / TLS 1.3 fixes
    
    Misc fixes and workarounds for compatibility with OpenSSL 1.1.1-pre1 and
    TLS 1.3 support. With OpenSSL 1.1.1, Python negotiates TLS 1.3 by
    default. Some test cases only apply to TLS 1.2. Other tests currently
    fail because the threaded or async test servers stop after failure.
    
    I'm going to address these issues when OpenSSL 1.1.1 reaches beta.
    
    OpenSSL 1.1.1 has added a new option OP_ENABLE_MIDDLEBOX_COMPAT for TLS
    1.3. The feature is enabled by default for maximum compatibility with
    broken middle boxes. Users should be able to disable the hack and CPython's 
test suite needs
    it to verify default options.
