It already has the `Name` instances for `SHA1-Digest` and `SHA-256-Digest` manifest attributes cached, but is missing an entry for `SHA-384-Digest`. The commit in this PR adds `SHA-384-Digest` to that cache.

I've manually verified that this change does reduce the memory footprint of an application which has signed JARs with `SHA-384` digest algorithm  (details in a comment of this PR).
