RFR 8022761: SQE test regression on wrongly signed indexed jar file

Hi Sherman

I try out "jar i" after signing and it puts INDEX.LIST at the very 
beginning of the file. Does this mean INDEX.LIST was actually an 
exception? Or it's just a bug?

Anyway, I think I should update the fix for 8021788 and here is the webrev:

   http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~weijun/8022761/webrev.00/

Now it also skips INDEX.LIST, i.e. update line 142 to

   if (uname.equals(JarFile.MANIFEST_NAME) ||
           uname.equals(JarIndex.INDEX_NAME) ) {

After this change, if INDEX.LIST appears before the MANIFEST and 
signature-related files, it will not be treated as signed. This should 
usually be true because it only happens when you call "jar i" after 
signing a jar which means INDEX.LIST *is* unsigned.

Thanks
Max
