Java 11 RC - Handshake failure in certain specific cases throws a different exception than previous versions

Just checking back on this one. Is this an expected change? Personally,
it's not a big issue in the code where this is happening for me. I'll
probably just change the catch block to a more generic IOException.
However, for any other code which relied on the previous SocketException
catch block, they will now have to expect a different exception
depending on what version of Java runtime it's running against.
