Previously, if Boot's JarURLConnection pointed to the root of a nested
entry, e.g. /BOOT-INF/classes, a call to getInputStream() would throw
an IOException. This behavior is reasonable for a URL that points
to the root of a normal jar as the jar itself is on the class path
anyway. However, for a nested jar it meant that a call to
ClassLoader.getResources("") would not include URLs for any nested
jars and directories (/BOOT-INF/classes and jars in /BOOT-INF/lib).
This is due to some logic in URLClassPath.Loader.findResource that
verifies a URL by opening a connection and calling getInputStream().
The result of missing URLs for the root of nested jars and directories
is that classpath scanning that scans from the root (not a good idea
for performance reasons, but something that we should support) would
not find entries in /BOOT-INF/classes or in jars in /BOOT-INF/lib.
This commit updates our JarURLConnection so that it no longer throws
an IOException when asked for an InputStream for the root of a nested
entry (directory or jar).
Fixes gh-7003
