Figured out the root cause of the u-v-a crash in https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/issues/846: unsafe-load-any-extension causes it.

On travis, start a build with 2.7.8 so that _ssl2.py gets
tested (previously tested by Python 2.6). Do so with the test_ssl.py
from that version (because the changes are large), but keep using the
2.7.11 tests with just a few removals otherwise.

Drop support for python 2.6.

Move .pep8 to setup.cfg so it will be auto-detected.

Update c-ares to 1.11.0

- Replaced the whole directory with current source. This adds a few more
  scripts that we could remove again if desired, but it's easier just to
  be able to copy everything.
- However, the new test directory requires c++11, which travis doesn't
  have, so it's ditabled.
- The invocation of configure had to lose the CONFIG_FILES= param,
  because with that set, configure would fail to create the Makefile
  which in turn caused the whole thing to fail.

Test non-embedded versions of libev and c-ares

Downstream distributors like to use their system libraries for some
reason, so make sure that works, at least with the versions we have.
Previously at least one test was broken.

Fixes #759
