Could you please review the JDK-8255739 bug fix?

I think sun.security.x509.SubjectAlternativeNameExtension() should throw an exception for incorrect SubjectAlternativeNames instead of returning the substituted characters, which is explained in the description of BugDB.

I modified DerValue.readStringInternal() not to read incorrect SubjectAlternativeNames and throw an IOException. sun.security.x509.X509CertInfo.parse() catch the IOExcepton and ignore it if SAN is a non-ciritical extension like the behavior of the IOException in readStringInternal(). So I added a test with -Djava.security.debug=x509 to confirm that.
