[rfc][jdk8u/jdk] Disable broken crypto algorithms (sane defaults)

Hello there!

Please review this patch disabling deprecated, broken, or, insecure crypto 
algorithms. I think it is fair to say that these should be sane defaults by now, 
similar to what main web browser vendors do.

AFAIKT, JDK 8 ships with only one legacy MD5withRSA signed certificate which is 
from the GTE CyberTrust Global Root CA. All other CAs have moved to SHA1 or 
SHA256 signatures. So this certificate would have to be replaced by package 
maintainers and/or release engineers.

If it is too late for JDK 8 then JDK 9 should definitely deploy with these defaults.

Regards,

Jacob
