RFR: 8173315: java/net/HttpURLConnection/SetAuthenticator/HTTPSetAuthenticatorTest.java fails intermittently

[Michael McMahon]

Hi Daniel,

I understand that there is a further dependency on the static 
authentication cache
and it is important to have a port number that is not only unbound, but 
also not previously used
in the same test VM. It might be worth adding a comment to that effect 
in the change.
Otherwise, the fix looks good.

Thanks,
Michael
