RFR: 8031572: jarsigner -verify exits with 0 when a jar file is not properly signed

In JarFile, I think you should also upper-case the entry names before 
passing to SignatureFileVerifier.isBlockOrSF, as all other calls to this 
method in the JDK do that. The jar specification says that these 
filenames are case-insensitive, so a file named "*.rsa" should also be 
treated as a signature file.

Looks good otherwise, although I couldn't see any difference between the 
8 and 9 fix.

The fix makes sure only signature-related files are processed in the beginning so JarVerifier does not enter the second stage prematurely. Please note that JarInputStream always feeds JarVerifier by natural order so once a non-signatued-related file is processed it goes into verification stage and will not parse a signature anymore.

This will be a huge change to the JarVerifier class and IMHO does not really help much. Also I don’t want to consider it at this final time of JDK 8.
