Fix request (13u) Requesting backport to 13u for parity with 11u, applies cleanly.

jdk11 backport request I would like to have the patch in jdk11 as well, because the issue is present there too. The patch applies cleanly (except one COPYRIGHT year).

Needs more investigation. Might or might not be related to JDK-8223783. That is - if there is a retry and a new connection is opened the authenticator might be called once more. The handlers on the server side are registered with distinctive path so it is unlikely that they could be invoked randomly by stray clients from other tests. The test now uses the loopback address so it also reduces those chances. So I believe it's unlikely that some stray request originating from another test might have disturbed the server state, causing it to request authentication once more (but who knows). In addition, the "MyAuthenticator" should only be invoked by the client side - which means HttpURLConnection (and never by the server). Which means that more probably either the test logic is wrong, or we fail into one of these dark corners of networking (e.g. unexpected communication error causing a silent retry). That could be also the case for JDK-8223783. The test could be instrumented to save a stack trace whenever the authenticator is called, and whether it was for proxy or server, and if the authentication count is wrong then those stack traces could be spit.
