RFR[11] JDK-8146293 "Add Support for RSA-PSS Signature Algorithm as in PKCS#1 v2.2"

[Xuelei Fan]

The algorithm name decomposer implementation for algorithm restrictions 
depends on the pattern:
    <digest>with<encryption>

Using the same "encryption" name for signature and PKCS#1 could be 
easier for applications if there is a need  to decompose the algorithms.
