RFR: 8274779: HttpURLConnection: HttpClient and HttpsClient incorrectly check request method when set to POST [v5]

[Evan Whelan]

> Hi,
> 
> Please review my fix for JDK-8274779 which changes how HttpClient and HttpsClient  checks for equality when comparing request methods. 
> 
> When `HttpURLConnection.setRequestMethod` is passed `new String("POST")` rather than the "POST" String literal, the old behaviour resulted in broken HttpClients being reused from the `KeepAliveCache`. 
> 
> This is because a call to `HttpClient.available()` was never reachable due to identity equality being used instead of logical equality.
> 
> The test case uses an injected KeepAliveCache, to which we put a HttpClient that is unavailable. By comparing the initial HttpClient's `connectTimeout` value to the "cached" client's connectTimeout (1234 vs 4321 respectively) we can assert that these values should never be equal as a new HttpClient should be created in cases where we can no longer use the cached one.
> 
> All CI testing is green for this fix.
> 
> Kind regards,
> Evan
