tests: change how sockets are closed

Python 3 uses a different type to represent a socket file object
than Python 2. We need to conditionalize how the socket is closed
accordingly.

While we're here, we switch to use socket.shutdown() to close the
socket. This is because socket.close() may not actually close
the socket until it is GCd. socket.shutdown() forces an immediate
shutdown.

I suspect Python 3 changed semantic behavior here, as I can't get
test-http-bad-server.t to work with socket.close(). socket.shutdown()
does appear to work, however.

Mercurial
=========

Mercurial is a fast, easy to use, distributed revision control tool
for software developers.

Basic install::

 $ make            # see install targets
 $ make install    # do a system-wide install
 $ hg debuginstall # sanity-check setup
 $ hg              # see help

Running without installing::

 $ make local      # build for inplace usage
 $ ./hg --version  # should show the latest version

See https://mercurial-scm.org/ for detailed installation
instructions, platform-specific notes, and Mercurial user information.
