RFR: 7199862: Make sure that a connection is still alive when retrieved from KeepAliveCache in certain cases

[Rob McKenna]

Hi folks,

This one is connected to 7199219 and has an intersecting change in that 
we're similarly passing the httpuc from HttpURLConnection. Despite the 
intersection I've filed these as two separate issues because a) they are 
and b) I wouldn't like one to be held up by the other.

The problem here is that for a specific type of request (streaming POST) 
we don't have the option of retrying the request if there is an issue 
with the connection. A customer has run into a problem where their proxy 
was unilaterally deciding when to close connections (without paying 
attention to the servers keep-alive timeout) earlier than our 
KeepAliveCache expected. In this case our POST would fail with odd http 
response codes.
