[Adam Petcher]

I created JDK-8184122[1] to track this SunEC refactoring effort.

What problem do you expect this will cause? If there is a curve that is 
in ecdecode, but not in CurveDB, then that means it is not supported. 
Any attempt to use it should result in the expected exception before 
execution reaches the native code. So the code for this curve in 
ecdecode is effectively dead, and there may be some technical debt here, 
but are there other problems that I am not thinking of?
