If a HttpClient is created with an Executor to run async and dependent tasks, and if the Executor rejects a task (throws RejectedExecutionException), then the internal SelectorManager may silently shutdown, leaving clients hanging.

The exception is revealed by running with -Djdk.httpclient.HttpClient.log=all

This issue is created to examine this scenario, e.g.

- The REE is fatal so maybe the shutdown/exception should be printed to the console unconditionally, irrespective of whether logging is enabled or not.

- Maybe the spec for HttpClient.Builder.executor(Executor) should specify that the behavior is unspecified when an executor rejects tasks.

- Maybe there needs to be a fallback to at least complete exceptionally the CF that the client is waiting on, so they aren't hanging indefinitely.
