This is a backport of the match_hostname() function from Python 3.2,
    essential when using SSL.
    Verifies that *cert* (in decoded format as returned by
    SSLSocket.getpeercert()) matches the *hostname*.  RFC 2818 rules
    are mostly followed, but IP addresses are not accepted for *hostname*.

    CertificateError is raised on failure. On success, the function
    returns nothing.
