[9] RFR: 8157896: TestDSAGenParameterSpec.java test fails with timeout

[Xuelei Fan]

SupportedDSAParamGen.java
=========================
Please use more large timeout. The update from 450 to 550 may be not
significant enough to prevent intermittent failure.  I may use bigger
value, 600 or even bigger?

The same comment for TestDSAGenParameterSpec.java.

Thanks,
Xuelei
