JEP 166: Overhaul JKS-JCEKS-PKCS12 Keystores

[Michael StJohns]

My main reason for suggesting this is that the all but one of the algorithm suites defined in PKCS12 are either deprecated or prohibited by NIST guidance.  The undeprecated suite appears to be the default one used by the java implementation.  It would be nice to have a choice.

See below.

Yup - but someone has to be first....   :-)
