limiting the call to readline().  Original patch by Michał
  Jastrzębski and Giampaolo Rodola.

  limit line length.  Patch by Emil Lind.

Initial patch by Bruno Piguet.

This is implemented as if a useful .netrc file could exist without passwords,
which is possible in the general case; but in fact our netrc implementation
does not support it.  Fixing that issue will be an enhancement.

The SSLFakeFile.readline() method needs to support limiting readline() as
well.  It's not a full emulation of readline()'s signature, but this class
is only used by smtplib's code, so it doesn't have to be.

Modified version of original patch by Christian Heimes.

  strings for `rfc822Name` (email), `dNSName` (DNS) and
  `uniformResourceIdentifier` (URI).
