[3.8] gh-108342: Make ssl TestPreHandshakeClose more reliable (GH-108370

) * In preauth tests of test_ssl, explicitly break reference cycles invoving SingleConnectionTestServerThread to make sure that the thread is deleted. Otherwise, the test marks the environment as altered because the threading module sees a "dangling thread" (SingleConnectionTestServerThread). This test leak was introduced by the test added for the fix of issue gh-108310. * Use support.SHORT_TIMEOUT instead of hardcoded 1.0 or 2.0 seconds timeout. * SingleConnectionTestServerThread.run() catchs TimeoutError * Fix a race condition (missing synchronization) in test_preauth_data_to_tls_client(): the server now waits until the client connect() completed in call_after_accept(). * test_https_client_non_tls_response_ignored() calls server.join() explicitly. * Replace "localhost" with server.listener.getsockname()[0]. (cherry picked from commit 592bacb) Co-authored-by: Victor Stinner <vstinner@python.org>
