[jdk8u-dev] Request for enhancement backport approval for 8162362: Introduce system property to control enabled ciphersuites

[Seán Coffey]

Seeking to backport this enhancement to jdk8u-dev.

Two new system properties may be be used to customize the default 
enabled cipher suites.  This is a SunJSSE provider implementation update.

The system property "jdk.tls.client.cipherSuites" is used to customize 
the client side default enabled cipher suites.

The system property "jdk.tls.server.cipherSuites" is used to customize 
the server side default enabled cipher suites.

By default, both the property values are not set.  Unset or empty 
property value means there is no customization of the default enabled 
cipher suites.  Explicit setting of enabled cipher suites will override 
this system property.
