Description
The symbol table in javac in JDK 11+ needs to be updated with the new APIs introduced in JSR 337 MR3 (8u251/8u252).  

Both ALPN + RSASSA-PSS.

IIUC, these files are incremental which is fine for ALPN as the changes were introduced in JDK 9 (next release), but the PSS changes were added in 11, so they won't exist in JDK 9/10.
Comments
Fix request (open 11u) -- will label after testing completed. I would like to downport this for parity with 11.0.9-oracle. Using the webrev proposed&reviewed above it applies clean.

Fix Request This fix updates ct.sym data for --release 8, so that it includes the new API. Changes to the tool that generates the data are also included. I did a build of JDK 11 with and without the patch, and check which files inside the ct.sym from the two builds changed, and the updates seemed reasonable. Relevant (langtools) patch were passing to me. The master/original patch does not apply cleanly, review of the updated patch: https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/compiler-dev/2020-July/014712.html
