RFR - 8159410: InetAddress.isReachable returns true for non existing IP addresses

[Mark Sheppard]

Hi Rob,
      this looks good ...

do you think there is any need to replicate these changes in 
Inet6AddressImpl.c ?     (or leave it alone and don't trouble trouble 
until trouble troubles you :-)

regards
Mark

This change checks that both the call and the ping were successful. In addition to that it takes a number of common failure causes into account before deciding to throw an exception.
