This patch tries to provide better SSL errors by using OpenSSL's official mnemonics. The sub-library mnemonic (e.g. "SSL", "PEM"...) is provided as the "library" attribute on an exception, and the reason mnemonic (e.g. "CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED") is provided as the "reason" attribute. I'm welcoming of any comments or suggestions.

I'd like to see this in 3.3.

There it is, Georg :) As mentioned in the commit message, this unfortunately creates a reference leak, which is apparently related to the use of the stable ABI.
