RFR 8182999: SunEC throws ProviderException on invalid curves

Yes, this is a good idea. I made this work by printing out the value 
from AlgorithmParameters.toString(), so hopefully that means you should 
always get a useful string. At the moment (with SunEC 
AlgorithmParameters), the string prints the friendly name followed by 
the OID:

Unsupported curve: brainpoolP256r1 (1.3.36.3.3.2.8.1.1.7)
