[9] Review request: JDK-8169443 Deprecate Java Packager Blob Signing

[Chris Bensen]

Hi Stefan,

Yes, it is being deprecated. It will continue to function as it has. Two main reasons for the deprecation are:

1. Self signed jars are blocked and sign as blob is a self signed jars.

2. There will be a replacement for modules that will be better.
