This patch replaces a LinkedList data structure used in the 
net.http.Http2Connection class with an ArrayList. This
issue relates to [JDK-8246048: Replace LinkedList with ArrayLists in
java.net](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8246048).

Some justifications for this change are as follows:

- Sequential Access Times for ArrayLists are improved due to locality of 
reference (i.e ArrayList elements stored in same
  memory neighborhood)
- Get(index) operations are O(1) time complexity for ArrayLists as opposed to 
worst-case O(N-1) for LinkedLists
- While insertion operations can be expensive (O(N) in the worst case), these 
operations appear to be
  infrequent/non-existent in this case.

Additional justifications or challenges to those listed are welcome! The 
general idea is that ArrayLists out-perform
LinkedLists in this scenario.
