AW: [PATCH]: Support for brainpool curves from CurveDB in SunEC

Hi Valerie,
these tests were initally meant for the new curves in SunEC, but the SunEC tests are using
the PKCS#11 tests. Even though I made these known answer tests for SunEC, I think it
might be a good idea not to limit them to SunEC but run them on tests using TestECDH with
any provider, which claims to support these curves.
The supported/unsupported statements come from getSupportedECParameterSpec in PKCS11Test
and depend on the exception a provider throws. I moved that code to this method from the getKnowCurves
method, to check if one particular curve is available. So, yes, I think it lack of support in these providers,
and the log message depends on the exception type and the execptions message.
I executed the with an unpatched and a patched build of the OpenJDK. In both cases it was the SunEC provider.
The output for the unpatched reference build for sun.security.ec.TestEC using sun.security.pkcs11.ec.TestECDH:
...

and for the patched build:
...

>libsoftokn3 version = 3.16. ECC Basic.
>Testing using parameters secp192r1 [NIST P-192, X9.62 prime192v1] (1.2.840.10045.3.1.1)...

>OK
...
When running sun.security.pkcs11.ec.TestECDH directly, I get the following:
...
>libsoftokn3 version = 3.16. ECC Basic.
>Beginning test run TestECDH...
>Running test with provider SunPKCS11-NSS (security manager enabled) ...
>NSS only supports Basic ECC. Skipping..
>Completed test with provider SunPKCS11-NSS (28 ms).
