[pca] Fun with entitlement again

[Jeff Earickson]

The information below helped me in chasing problems with entitlement
issues regarding Sun Studio 12.1 and 12.2.  In the past few days, I
have suddenly been getting:

145354 -- < 03 ---  53 Oracle Solaris Studio 12.2: Patch for Oracle
Solaris C Compiler
Looking for 145354-03 (5/12)
Trying Oracle
Trying https://getupdates.oracle.com/ (zip) (1/1)
Failed (Error 403: You are not entitled to retrieve this content.)

For SunStudio patches.  Rejected -- and I don't know why.  I've had to
open a support case with Oracle on this issue.   Grrrr.
