RFR [11] 8197564: HTTP Client implementation - JEP 321

[Chris Hegarty]

Hi,

This is a request for review for the HTTP Client implementation - JEP 321.

The javadoc link has been refreshed, based on feedback received from
the CSR [1] ( and a follow on supplementary CSR [2] ): 
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~chegar/httpclient/02/javadoc/api/java.net.http/java/net/http/package-summary.html

The webrev link has been refreshed to include implementation changes
to support the latest API, additional test code coverage and scenarios:
