[PATCH] 8165751: NPE in Signature with java.security.debug=provider

Subclasses of Signature may have a null provider. In this case, the 
debug logging code will throw a NPE when attempting to call getName() on 
it. Since this member may be null, I would like to change its type to 
Optional to ensure that code checks whether it is present before using 
it. I have assumed that getProvider() methods (in both Signature and 
Service) always return non-null---if this assumption is incorrect, then 
I'll need to change some of the uses of Optional in/around these methods.

Note that this issue of missing null checks for providers exists in 
several classes (e.g. Cipher, MessageDigest). Once this patch is 
reviewed and committed, I will apply the same solution to all other 
affected classes.
