RFR [13] JDK-8226374 Restric signature algorithms and named groups

A couple of comments/question so far (not done reviewing)

- Please change all instances of "Restric" to "Restrict" (proper 
spelling) in the bug summary and names of tests, etc

- It looks like you have enhanced jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms to allow 
you to restrict named groups. I think that would make this an RFE, which 
will require a CSR and special approval to get into JDK 13. Do you 
really need this to implement the fix? If not, I would separate that 
part out and target it to JDK 14. Also, why haven't you updated the 
definition of jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms to include named groups?

Thanks,
Sean
