Please review this cleanup PR which removes the internal, unused method `sun.n.w.p.h.HttpURLConnection.setDefaultAuthenticator` with associated code.

This was discovered while investigating methods annotated with `@Deprecated`, but missing `@deprecated` javadoc tags.

The method sets a private static field which is read in various places. This field and its uses is also removed. 

Testing: No tests changes in this PR, this is purely a cleanup removal of unused code.
