core: Disable PKCS#11 security provider

The PKCS#11 security provider generates a native memory leak in RHEL
6.5. Currently we don't need this provider, so it can be safeley
disabled. This patch disables it adding the following to our custom
java.security file:

  security.provider.1=sun.security.provider.Sun

+#
+# The default java.security contains the following security providers in some
+# environments:
+#
+# security.provider.1=sun.security.pkcs11.SunPKCS11 
${java.home}/lib/security/nss.cfg
+# security.provider.2=sun.security.provider.Sun
+# ...
+#
+# This means that the PKCS#11 providers is always loaded, even if no PKCS#11
+# hardware or software token is in use. We currently don't use or support any
+# PKCS#11 token. Unfortunatelly this provider generates a serious off-heap
+# memory leak in some environments, in recent EL6 distributions in particular.
+# In order to avoid this leak we disable it and set the Sun provider as the
+# first. Once the leak with the PKCS#11 provider is solved this line can be
+# safely removed or commented out.
