RFR 8168518: rcache interop with krb5-1.15

Is the "HASH" algorithm a new name?  I'm not sure why introduce this 
none-standard name.

   39     // The hash algorithm can be "HASH" or "SHA256".
What if the algorithm is not one of the two?  Why not use the standard 
names?  Do you want to support SHA3?

As the DEFAULT_HASH_ALG system property is customizable, the value may 
be not valid.  Therefore, the AssertionError may be too strong to use in 
line 310 of KrbApReq.java, and the message can have more information.

Otherwise, looks fine to me.
