If using the JDK SSL provider with Netty, we currently switch away from Netty's default ByteBuffer allocator to the unpooled allocator, to work around a regression in Netty 4.1.43 - netty/netty#9768. This has been fixed in later versions, so we should revert back to using the default. This is essentially a revert of the relevant parts of a72f494. Reduces allocation rate on NettyHttpClientH1Benchmark by around 45% when using the JDK SSL provider.
