RFR JDK-8179614: Test for jarsigner on verifying jars that are signed and timestamped by other JDK releases

The test can be more friendly with default values.

For example, in createCertificates(), you can generate certs that use 
default sigalg and keysize (i.e. without specifying -siglag and 
-keysize), and give them aliases with "default" or "null" inside.

And in jar signing when signing with one -sigalg you can also choose 
cert generated with different or default sigalgs.

BTW, I remember certain pairs of -keysize and -sigalg do not work 
together. For example, 1024 bit of DSA key cannot be used with 
SHA512withDSA signature algorithm. Have you noticed it?

Thanks
Max
