Bug: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7201205
OpenJDK8 changeset: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8/jdk/rev/9e879c0288c2
Review thread for 8: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/security-dev/2012-September/005569.html

This patch allows OpenJDK builds to use the unlimited policy if UNLIMITED_CRYPTO is set.
If UNLIMITED_CRYPTO is not set, the build remains the same as before.

This patch obsoletes the more extensive crypto patch carried by IcedTea6&7 which removed
several classes in order to remove the need to have policy files at all.  This patch is
essentially a compromise between that, which obviously couldn't go upstream, and the need
to ship without cryptography restrictions on GNU/Linux distributions.

The changeset from 8 applies cleanly to 7u.
