8237219: Disabling the native SunEC implementation

ECKeyPairGenerator.java:

You can move the following lines to the beginning of the method:

 132         // Check if the java implementation supports this curve
 133         if (ECOperations.forParameters(ecSpec).isPresent()) {
 134             return;
 135         }

Everything else looks fine.

In the CSR, how about explicitly spell out the curve names we support in Java?

You also need a release note: Talk about the system property, when it should be enabled, and why enabling it is probably not a good idea.

Thanks,
Max

>>> I need a review of the CSR and webrev for disabling by default the native SunEC curves from the API.  With the recent verification changes in JDK-8237218, SunJCE is long dependent on the native code for verifying the constant-time curves.  This disabling can be undone with setting a  system property, jdk.sunec.disableNative.  I'm doing a simultaneous review as changes for one  will likely affect the other.
