Request for Approval for CR 7041800 - URI.equals may incorrectly return true with escaped octets

[Chris Hegarty]

This is a request for approval to backport the fix for 7041800 to 
jdk7u-dev/jdk:

      7041800 - URI.equals may incorrectly return true with escaped octets
      http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7041800

Changeset in jdk8:
     http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk/rev/fcb33500b325

The patch for jdk7u is the same as that in jdk8.

-Chris.
