This change is to enhance `keytool` to make use of the new methods `DisabledAlgorithmConstraints.permits` with `CertPathConstraintsParameters` and `checkKey` parameters. For the keyusage in the EE certificate of a certificate chains, set the variant accordingly when calling `CertPathConstraintsParameters` constructor.

An application could override what was in the `java.security` file by setting the property directly, so saying `java.security` is not totally precise. However, it seems you don't actually need to add this extra info to the exception messsage. Could we just use the `denyAfterDate` (after "used with Constraint date: ") and reformat it into YYYY-MM-DD format if necessary?
