This change uses a Cleaner to check when java.net.Authenticator instances become unreachable, and then prunes the authentication cache for entries that correspond to that Authenticator and therefore cannot be used again. This stops the authentication cache from growing in size unbounded. Note, this only happens in the probably unusual case where more than one Authenticator object is used. Normally there is no reason to use more than one instance.
