It also provides hooks to its two subclasses (one for HTTP/1, one for HTTP/2) that allows subclasses to register the susbscriber with the HttpClient at subscription time, and to unregister it when it is eventualy completed, or when the subscription is cancelled.

The CancelRequestTest has been observed failing once or twice on personal jobs. Though the particular mechanics of this race is hard to understand, the logs of the tests have brought sufficient evidence that this is what was happening.

> The proposed fix hoist special hooks for register/unregister in the superclass, merges all various volatile boolean states into a single int state, and protect the state changes  to subscribed/register/unregister by the same subscription lock.
> If cancelling the subscription happens at around the same time that the subscriber is subscribed this ensures that the subscriber won't be removed from the map before it is added.
