Also update the test_ssl.py to cpython rev 2c9ff9e (head). This fixes the
problems with invalid certs for svn.python.org.

These tests include much more testing of the new-in-2.7.9 SSLContext
settings, which revealed some problems in our hostname validation, our
handling of read/write/do_handshake for closed sockets, and the missing
alpn_selected method.

Fix #289. Avoid OverflowError in Py2 for large WSGI uploads.

test_ftplib.py passed this time on appveyor 2.7/64-bit. no idea why since it's been consistently failing before now. no versions appear to have changed.

Mark test__fileobject.py flaky on appveyor due to random failures that are apparently timing related.

Use latin-1 as decoding in unquote for conformance with PEP 3333

The cert for svn.python.org has changed breaking many test_ssl.py cases.

The upstream resolution is being discussed in
https://bugs.python.org/issue25940, but the interim solution was to
disable the failing tests to avoid blocking releases. I'm applying the
same approach here for a temporary fix.

Optimize CFFI backend to use less memory by taking advantage of the libev 'data' pointer. Also simplifies the callback code.
