For this particular RFE, it enhances SunPKCS11 provider to load PKCS#11 provider by first trying the C_GetInterface (new in 3.0) before the C_GetFunctionList assuming not explicitly specified in config. In addition, PKCS#11 v3.0 defines a new API for cancelling session operations, so I've also updated various classes to call this new API if the PKCS#11 library version is 3.0. Otherwise, these classes will try to cancel by finishing off current operations as before. The support for the new C_LoginUser() has not been tested, so I commented it out for now. Given the current release schedule, support for other new PKCS#11 APIs (such as message-based ones and parameters structure) and options for C_GetInterface (if needed) will be handled later.

Since every case has a break it's probably better to use the enhanced switch (`case "x" -> ...;`). It's safer and also saves quite some lines. An IDE can help you with the conversion.

The new `cancelOperation()` methods seems identical everywhere. Is it possible to consolidate it to a helper method like `trySessionCancel(token, session, flags)`? It can return true if canceled successfully, false if needs a fallback, and can still throw a `ProviderException`.
