RFR: 8252304: Seed an HttpRequest.Builder from an existing HttpRequest [v5]

[Patrick Concannon]

> Hi,
> 
> Could someone please review our code for JDK-8252304: 'Seed an HttpRequest.Builder from an existing HttpRequest'?
> 
> This RFR proposes a new factory method for creating a new `HttpRequest` builder from an existing `HttpRequest`.
> This method can be used to build a new request equivalent to the given request, but with different attributes. For instance, it will allow the user to take an existing request and add or change a particular header, provide a new `URI`, etc.
> 
> 
> Kind regards,
> Patrick & Chris
