This caused duplicate checks and was also problematic for `jarsigner` (and `keytool`) which need to distinguish these two cases, so that the output can properly indicate when the key is disabled but the signature or digest alg is ok.

This flag is always set to `false` by `jarsigner` when checking algs and by the JDK when checking digest algorithms. Other small changes include changes in `SignerInfo` to use a record to store info about the algorithms to be checked, and removing an unnecessary CRL checking method from `AlgorithmChecker`.

I'm feeling we should completely dump checking for algorithms and switch to checking algorithmIds. Even if currently it's only RSASSA-PSS, but suppose one day we support the SHAKE256-LEN MessageDigest algorithm and I suppose that LEN cannot be any number.

src/java.base/share/classes/sun/security/pkcs/SignerInfo.java line 749:

You can use `var`.

src/jdk.jartool/share/classes/sun/security/tools/jarsigner/Main.java line 1491:

Do we need to check AlgorithmParamters as well? Ex: if `alg` is RSASSA-PSS.

test/jdk/sun/security/tools/jarsigner/TimestampCheck.java line 368:

Maybe just check `.shouldNotContain("option is considered a security risk and is disabled")`?
