This change slightly alter the test logic to check the shared client only at the end of the test when all methods have been executed, and focussed the checks performed by a test method to the only clients that this method is using. This may or may not prevent the observed issue to ever reproducing, but should at least provide more information on where the selector manager thread is at the time it is observed running, should the test fail again:
> the logic of the HttpClient should have woken up the selector when the last operation finished, which should have ensured a prompt termination of the thread.
> In addition this change fixes a small race condition in the logic that attempts to decide if the selector is still alive: the selector should be considered alive until its run() method has been called and has exited (or Thread::start has thrown).
