Chris Marusich 20ff2e9d9a Add a failing test to illustrate a hole in vcrpy's Boto support ...

This test will fail with the following error:

TypeError: unbound method __init__() must be called with VCRHTTPConnection
instance as first argument (got CertValidatingHTTPSConnection instance instead)

The TypeError is raised because the __init__ method of Boto's
CertValidatingHTTPSConnection (which extends httplib.HTTPConnection) calls
httplib.HTTPConnection.__init__, and during the test httplib.HTTPConnection
actually refers to the patched verison (i.e., VCRHTTPConnection).  When
VCRHTTPConnection.__init__ is called, it expects to receive a
VCRHTTPConnection object as its first argument, but instead it receives a
CertValidatingHTTPSConnection object.  Because the only ancestor class of
CertValidatingHTTPSConnection is the original, un-patched
httplib.HTTPConnection, the first argument is not considered to be a
VCRHTTPConnection object, so a TypeError is raised.
