asyncserver (asyncore) code fixed and test cases repaired (always delete temp files, wait for end of thread/server, etc)

definitely closes gh-161, also other usage of asyncore event loop (in test_smtp.py)
repair cache in ipToName (can returns None), precaching of invalid IPs (according to RFC 5737) to stop endless wait for resolving it in test cases.
