Android P security policy support

On test environment setup, with couchbase servers and sync gateway machines are in data center, and Android devices have Android 9 (Pie) running on couchbase-corp network, HTTP is no longer allowed. Solution either to upgrade TestServer running on HTTPS or add network security config to bypass the security policy so websocket connection won't get closed by Android OS.
