RFR JDK-8134364: Add defensive copies to get/set methods for OCSPNonceExtension

Hi Sean,

Yes, I was just following Extension convention in terms of implementing 
CertAttrSet.  Within sun.security.x509, X509CertInfo uses the set 
methods from other objects implementing CertAttrSet. But 
OCSPNonceExtension really isn't a certificate attribute so it probably 
doesn't need to bring this interface in.

I'll refactor this and alter the tests to match.
