jmx-dev RFR: 8022220 Intermittent test failures in javax/management/remote/mandatory/connection/RMIConnectionIdTest.java

Please, review this simple patch for an intermittently failing test.

The test fails in cases when the connection loopback is resolved to be
127.0.1.1 - it may happen under certain circumstances in eg. Ubuntu. The
test does not anticipate this possibility and requires the loopback
address to be exactly 127.0.0.1

The test will end comparing 127.0.0.1 against 127.0.1.1 and will
consider them non equal even though they are both the same loopback. The
patch adds a bit of flexibility to the test allowing for any two valid
loopback addresses (127.0.0.0/8) to be equal.
