[GSS](7.1.z) ELY-1510 - Bearer authentication sends 401 to unprotected resources when no auth in progress

      If you try to access unprotected resource with no Authorization header, BearerTokenAuthenticationMechanism sees it as a failed authentication so 401 is sent.


      https://github.com/wildfly/quickstart/tree/master/jaxrs-jwt fails with "401 Unauthorized":

      ELY-1510 is already fixed in the upstream (Elytrong 1.2.1.Final or later). I confirmed this issue does not happen with WildFly 13 and JBoss EAP 7.2.0.Beta.

      Also, I backported the upstream patch to EAP 7.1.4 Elytron 1.1.10.Final with slight modification (need to change httpBearer.debugf(...) to log.debugf(...)), then I confirmed this issue is resolved with the patch. Please backport the patch to EAP 7.1.
