Repair redirect handling and raise URLError on host-not-found.
The latest changes to the redirect handler couldn't possibly have been tested, because they did not compute a newurl and failed with a NameError. The __name__ == "__main__": block has a test for redirects. Also, fix SF bug 723831. A urlopen() that failed because the host was not found raised a socket.gaierror unlike earlier versions of urllib2. The problem is that httplib actually establishes the connection at a different point starting with Python 2.2. Move the try/except to endheaders(), which is where the connection gets established.
