Description

In https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8230977 Java 8 received a backport of the Java 9 ALPN API. It appears to be available starting in 8u251 or u252. Support was added to Netty in https://github.com/netty/netty/pull/10196 and released in 4.1.49.

Since we do some of our own detection, we should make sure it works with these more recent Java 8 versions. Even though Java 8 has very poor AES GCM performance, if it is an additional option it can help users on nicher platforms why may not need high throughput. We will also need to update SECURITY.md.

It may make sense to split out a separate issue for OkHttp.
