    JDK-8309841: Jarsigner Should Print a Warning If an Entry Is Removed

      If an entry is removed from a signed JAR file, there is no mechanism to detect that it has
      been removed using the `JarFile` API, since the `getJarEntry` method returns `null` as if the
      entry had never existed. With this change, the `jarsigner -verify` command analyzes the
      signature files and if some sections do not have matching file entries, it prints out the
      following warning: "This JAR contains signed entries for files that do not exist". Users can
      further find out the names of these entries by adding the `-verbose` option to the command.
