RFR: 8297424: java/net/httpclient/AsyncExecutorShutdown.java fails in AssertionError due to misplaced assert

The `ResponseSubscribers.HttpResponseInputStream` class has an assert that has been observed firing (rarely) when running the `java/net/httpclient/AsyncExecutorShutdown.java` test.

After a thorough analysis of the code and the log failure I am convinced that the issue is due to a misplaced assert.
If cancellation happens asynchronously while the subscriber is being subscribed with the lower layers of the stack, the `HttpResponseInputStream` might get closed and the `LAST_LIST` buffer might be offered after `closed == false` has been observed by the `onSubscribed` method, but before the assertion has been checked. The assertion assumes that the queue must be empty, but it might not if `close` has been called and the `LAST_LIST` buffer has been offered.

Moving the assert from within the synchronized block, to ensure that the observed value of `closed` is consistent with the state of the queue, should fix it. I have tagged the bug as `noreg-hard`, I'm not sure it would be fair to say that `AsyncExecutorShutdown.java` can be used to verify the fix.
