There is no need to set `certLen` or `maxCertificateChainLength` when `globalPropSet` is false.

src/java.base/share/classes/sun/security/ssl/SSLConfiguration.java line 160:

The logic is little too long for me to digest. I wonder if we can just rewrite the line above to

inboundClientLen = globalPropSet ? maxCertificateChainLength : 8;

then there is no need for `serverPropSet` and `clientPropSet`.
