HttpServer should implement AutoCloseable?

[David Alayachew]

Hello @core-libs-dev <core-libs-dev at openjdk.org>,

Would it be ok if we made HttpServer from the jdk.httpserver module
implement AutoCloseable? Having this would prevent people from forgetting
to close the server after use.

The close() implementation could call stop(int delay) with a reasonable
default. This implementation should be a default one, so that existing
child classes that also implemented AutoCloseable lose no functionality.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
