[7u80] Request for approval for CR 4963723: Implement SHA-224

This is the first of three backports to 7u designed to retain SSL
compatibility with servers implemented in other languages switching
to larger key sizes (notably DH >=2048 in Apache 2.4.7 [0]).

This patch is a per-requisite of the patch which brings NSA Suite B
support to 7. It applies largely unchanged, bar the following:

* Copyright header adjustment
* Removal of change to java.security.spec.MGF1ParameterSpec to avoid
introducing a new public variable. The SHA-224 variant is constructed
directly in com.sun.crypto.provider.OAEPParameters instead.
* A change to OAEPParameters is dropped as it was already incorporated
in the backport of 7180907 & 8049480 (addition of SHA-224 to
convertToStandardName)
