This change disables URLConnection caching in SPIClassIterator - similar to what j.u.ServiceLoader does.
Resources accessed in jar file, through the URLConnection API, cache by default. In terms of JarURLConnections, this means retaining an open handle to the underlying jar file. This open handle is problematic when attempting to delete the jar file, on Windows. Disabling the jar file cache, for the URLConnections in SPIClassLoader should not negatively affect performance in any substantial way - since there are just a few service configuration files per jar.
The "workaround" here, disabling the cache per JAR URLConnection, is very common, and a consequence of the longstanding behaviour of the JarURLConnection API, as well as the URLClassLoader API.
