RFR 8182999: SunEC throws ProviderException on invalid curves

[Seán Coffey]

Adam,

would it be useful to get the curve name in the new exception ? I think 
it would help with future debugging. Line 96 already gets the curve name 
if we're dealing with ECGenParameterSpec instance. I think the same 
approach could be applied to your new code.

Regards,
Sean.
