JDK-8046321 - JEP 249: OCSP Stapling for TLS
Description
The CertStatusReqItemV2 class should not implement the StatusRequest interface.  This was left over from a prototype of OCSP stapling.  Things worked because the class needed (and still needs) to have length() and send() methods.  But a CertStatusReqItemV2 isn't a StatusRequest like OCSPStatusRequest is and therefore the "implements" definition should be removed.  It also allows us to reduce the visibility of the length and send methods to package-private.
Comments
Just need to remove the "implements StatusRequest" from the class definition and reduce the visibility of the length() and send() methods.
