Description
We have an incorrect regex syntax when describing a "usage" algorithm constraint in the following 2 places: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/blob/a37d8434ab991507bf8085ecf7816d0cd41ab584/src/java.base/share/conf/security/java.security#L537

Current syntax indicates that usage types are optional while they are not: at least one usage type should be specified.
