Dup or not dup?

I still like to write some new lines. ProviderConfig is not public and I don't
intend to make it so. Since keytool/jarsigner does not need to care about
security manager, there is no need for those doPrivileged calls. Also, I still
want the compatibility lines below.

We discourage it, but there are quite some examples like this on the net. It is
the only way to load a SunPKCS11 provider with a user-specified config file.

-providerName is not needed because KeyPairGenerator will pick it anyway. I
still need "-providerClass sun.security.provider.Sun" so it runs on jdk9/dev.
The jake change can use "-provider SUN".

I see them. Performance enhancement? Probably not crucial here since a normal
user should never use -providerClass to load these providers. -providerClass
should only be used when 1) a config argument is needed 2) the provider is not
registered in java.security.
