Remove test_timeout.testConnectTimeout() which is always skipped since 2009, commit 5b95a15.

No replacement was found for blackhole.snakebite.net and whitehole.snakebite.net online servers.

I don't think that it's worth it to backport this change to stable branches (Python 3.11 and 3.12).

Thanks for flagging me @serhiy-storchaka, first I've heard of this :)

python/psf-salt@ed19ff8 Adds firewall rules so that

pythontest.net:56666 works a stand in for blackhole.snakebite.net:56666
and
pythontest.net:56667 works a stand in for whitehole.snakebite.net:56667

If there's interest in retaining the test.

[serhiy-storchaka]

Thank you @ewdurbin!

Do you mind to create a PR? You better know what should be changed in comments (currently they contain a recipe for BSD).

[ewdurbin]

Sure. I'll send a PR.

@serhiy-storchaka see #109087.

Awesome to see this finally get resolved, some 12-13 years after I initially set up the OpenBSD pf rules on Snakebite :-)

Running tests is way better than removing them, I close my PR.
