RFR 8213010: [cng] Supporting keys created with certmgr.exe

The updated webrev looks fine.

Would prefer to have importPublicKey and importECPublicKey methods 
merged as other methods do. But not a deal breaker as it does not affect 
functionality.

Also, would be nice to use a http URL for the EC public key blob format.

Thanks,
Valerie

I recall BigInteger adds an extra 00 byte sometimes to indicate the positive value, but why is there an extra 1? Are the bytes for x, y, bs longer than the allocated "keyLen" length?

Like RSA support in SunMSCAPI, Signature::initSign only support native keys. Signature::initVerify supports both native and SunEC keys. That said, since we do not have EC KeyPairGenerator yet you won't meet a real native EC public key.
