[Linker][Tests] HttpClientTests fails with System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: The SSL connection could not be established

[mdh1418]

The dotnet-linker-tests pipeline osx-x64 runtime release lane has been failing frequently since job #20240709.4 with a failure stemming from HttpClient.GetAsync(string)

  Unhandled exception. System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: The SSL connection could not be established, see inner exception.

At a glance, it seems to be an authentication issue, similar to https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/104605 where both hit SslStream.ForceAuthenticationAsync -> SslStream.ProcessTlsFrame

Given that https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/pull/103419 changed ProcessTlsFrame, it seems more likely those changes are the culprit, as suspected in https://github.com/dotnet/runtime/issues/104605
