The prior version threw an error but in this refactor they are treated as an "unknown OID" and only throw a debug warning. This was addressed in https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8011867 but prior to this refactor the aforementioned OIDs were treated differently than unknown OIDs.

src/java.base/share/classes/sun/security/pkcs/PKCS9Attribute.java line 467:

The current changes both: 
1. Removes the `elemTag` variable since it is never used and calling `getTag()` does not change `elems`.
2. Simply sets `value = elems[0].getTime()` so as to avoid the conversion to a `DerInputStream` and back.

Neither of these changes caused problems when testing but I wanted to double check before the PR gets merged.
