JDK-8248981 - Specify list of standard message digest and mgf algorithms for RSASSA-PSS signature
Description
Summary
-------

Specify list of standard message digest and mgf algorithms for RSASSA-PSS signatures.

Problem
-------

Two of the parameters of the 5-arg `java.security.spec.PSSParameterSpec` constructor are the algorithms for the hash and message generation functions. It would be helpful for compatibility and interoperability purposes to define standard names for the algorithms as specified in RFC 8017. 

Solution
--------

Add a PSSParameterSpec section to the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names specification with the list of standard hash and message generation function algorithms.

Specification
-------------

Add the following section to the Java Security Standard Algorithm Names specification:

![PSSParameterSpec][1]

Add links to this section from the 5-arg `PSSParameterSpec` constructor.
