RFR: 8367008: Algorithm identifiers for HmacSHA* should always have NULL as params

Wed Oct 8 16:58:55 UTC 2025

Looking at RFC 9879 on PBES2 and PBMAC1 in PKCS12, algorithm identifiers for HmacSHA*** (like SHA***) should always contain NULL as params. We can update the list at AlgorithmId.encode(DOS) to enforce this rule.
