JDK 8 Code Review Request for 7176326: CertPath/CertPathBuilderTest failures after webrev 6854712_6637288_7126011

[Sean Mullan]

Xuelei or Vinnie could you please review the following fix:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mullan/webrevs/7176326/

The bug has not been posted yet, so I've included the relevant details 
below. It is a small regression introduced by my changes for JEP 124 
(6854712).

Also, I have moved the existing zeroLengthPath test from the closed repo 
(after removing a dependency on a proprietary cert), and enhanced it to 
also test 7176326.

Thanks,
Sean

Evaluation

A regression was introduced as part of the JEP 124 changes (6854712). It 
only causes an exception if you are validating a zero-length CertPath.
