RFR CSR for 8162628: Migrating cacerts keystore to password-less PKCS12 format

[Langer, Christoph]

Hi Max,

I've already made some updates to the wording in the CSR.

In the specification section, it should probably also not mention the source location src/java.base/share/lib/security/cacerts as it is about to be eliminated by JDK-8193255. It should rather refer to <JDK>/lib/security/cacerts, I think.

Best regards
Christoph
