RFR JDK-8239595/JDK-8239594 : ssl context version is not respected/jdk.tls.client.protocols is not respected

[Daniel Fuchs]

Good work Rahul!

I am not sure whether that deserves a CSR (probably not) but we may
want to create some release note to explain that the HttpClient is no
longer overriding the default protocols selected by the SSLContext.

So HTTP 1.1 over TLSv1.1 might now get negotiated where previously
an handshake failure would have occurred. It might be worth mentioning
in a release note.

best regards,
