Issue 36123: Race condition in test_socket

Looking at the buildbot failures, there is a race condition in a test_socket test:

    def _testWithTimeoutTriggeredSend(self):
        address = self.serv.getsockname()
        with open(support.TESTFN, 'rb') as file:
            with socket.create_connection(address, timeout=0.01) as sock:
                meth = self.meth_from_sock(sock)
                self.assertRaises(socket.timeout, meth, file)

    def testWithTimeoutTriggeredSend(self):
        conn = self.accept_conn()
        conn.recv(88192)

on slow buildbot, create_connection() fails with a timeout exception sometimes because the server fails to start listing in less than 10 ms.
