    Description

      The `-XshowSettings` launcher has a new `security` category. Settings from security properties, security providers and TLS related settings are displayed with this option. A security sub-category can be passed as an argument to the security category option. See the output from `java -X`:

      ```
         -XshowSettings:security
             show all security settings and continue
         -XshowSettings:security:*sub-category*
             show settings for the specified security sub-category and continue. Possible *sub-category* arguments for this option include:
             all: show all security settings and continue
             properties: show security properties and continue
             providers: show static security provider settings and continue
             tls: show TLS related security settings and continue
      ```

      Third party security provider details will be reported if they are included in the application class path or module path and such providers are configured in the `java.security` file.
