getCookieStore method in ApacheConnectorProvider

Following JERSEY-2424: after ApacheConnector became package-private we also lost access to CookieStore in ApacheConnector that is quite useful, for example, for QA issues etc. This small fix provides access to underlying CookieStore instance.
Why getConnector doesn't return directly ApacheConnector (witch check if the connector is an instance of ApacheConnector)? The code in getCookieStore and getHttpClient would be simpler. Or am I missing something?
