When we moved the com.sun.* stuff into javax.net.ssl.*,
we had the default mechanism provide an instance
of javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection. There is no
way currently to get an com.sun.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection.

While this was a sun-only interface, people may still
be expecting it, and should be able to get one.

Our approach is to provide duplicate providers,
one for com.* and one for sun.*. If the people followed
the correct installation in the JSSE 1.0.2 instructions
and properly set their pkgs locator:

-Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs= com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol

Then they will get a com.sun.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection,
otherwise, they will search the normal location and
get a javax.net.ssl.HttpsURLConnection.

Note that currently URL.java points at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol
by default. This should be removed as part of this putback.
