On 8038089: TLS optional support for Kerberos cipher suites needs to be re-examine

Hi Xuelei

A *primitive* version of webrev available at

   http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~weijun/8038089/webrev.00

Please confirm this is the way you like it.

ExternalCipherSuite is the service interface and Krb5CipherSuite implements it. It's a modification of the old Krb5Proxy but I've moved as many as Kerberos-related codes to the implementation side so it has less methods now.

Most likely we will define this new interface in a public package.

I didn't touch any core SSL classes except for ClientHandshaker and ServerHandShaker. If you think there are other places too closely connected with kerberos, please let me know.

Ideally, those

  case K_KRB5: case K_KRB5_EXPORT:
    Krb5Helper.doXXX(...):

should be something like

  default:
    getExternalHelper(keyExchange).doXXX(...)

but I guess we won't do that unless we know there will be a second implementation.

Thanks
Max
