[8u] TLS 1.3 to land in 8u soon - start testing now

[Martin Balao]

Hello,

As you know, Azul and Red Hat have been working over the last months on
the backport of the SunJSSE engine from JDK-11.0.7 to 8u [1] (see CSR in
[2]). This new version of the engine brings support for TLS v1.3.

We are expecting to include this backport in the next October 2020
release: OpenJDK 8u272.

As a result, it would be very valuable to us that the whole community
starts building and testing now.

We have the 8u-jsse-incubator repository [3] with all patches applied
(jdk8u272-b01 based) and the code will soon land on the 8u main line.

Thanks,
Martin.-
