errors: catch urllib errors specifically instead of using safehasattr()

Before this patch, we would catch `IOError` and `OSError` and check if
the instance had a `.code` member (indicates `HTTPError`) or a
`.reason` member (indicates the more generic `URLError`). It seems to
me that can simply catch those exception specifically instead, so
that's what this code does. The existing code is from fbe8834923c5
(commands: report http exceptions nicely, 2005-06-17), so I suspect
it's just that there was no `urllib2` (where `URLError` lives) back
then.

The old code mentioned `SSLError` in a comment. The new code does
*not* try to catch that. The documentation for `ssl.SSLError` says
that it has a `.reason` property, but `python -c 'import ssl;
print(dir(ssl.SSLError("foo", Exception("bar"))))` doesn't mention
that property on either Python 2 or Python 3 on my system. It also
seems that `sslutil` is pretty careful about converting `ssl.SSLError`
to `error.Abort`. It also is carefult to not assume that instances of
the exception have a `.reason`. So I at least don't want to catch
`ssl.SSLError` and handle it the same way as `URLError` because that
would likely result in a crash. I also wonder if we don't need to
handle it at all (because `sslutil` might handle all the cases). It's
now early in the release cycle, so perhaps we can just see how it
goes?
