Repair redirect handling and raise URLError on host-not-found.
The latest changes to the redirect handler couldn't possibly have been
tested, because they did not compute a newurl and failed with a
NameError. The __name__ == "__main__": block has a test for
redirects.
Also, fix SF bug 723831. A urlopen() that failed because the host was
not found raised a socket.gaierror unlike earlier versions of
urllib2. The problem is that httplib actually establishes the
connection at a different point starting with Python 2.2. Move the
try/except to endheaders(), which is where the connection gets
established.
