Hello,

Please review the patch below which addresses

     JDK-8036747: Fix unchecked lint warnings in java.security.Provider

In brief, java.security.Provider extends Properties which in extends 
Hashtable<Object, Object> even though morally Properties are a 
Map<String, String>.

The implementations of new-in-JDK-8 methods like

     replaceAll(BiFunction<? super K, ? super V, ? extends V> function)

need to have a public signature where K and V are replaced with 
"Object", but the actual function needs to operate over "String".

The patch suppresses warnings related to several unchecked casts from 
Object-based functions to String-based functions.

Thanks,

-Joe
