Previously a number of file- or directory-based task inputs were
configured with specifying their path sensitivity. This meant
that the default absolute path sensitivity was used. For caches
that are cacheable this would result in a cache miss when the
inputs were identical other than being located at a different
absolute path as they are when running a CI build vs a local build.

This commit updates the configuration of additional task inputs
to use relative path sensitivity. A property name for each input has
also been configured. This makes them easier to identify in build
scans.

  Fix ordering of metadata entries

This commit provides a consistent ordering for groups that share the
same configuration property prefix.

This commit disables a test that does not test what it is supposed to
and improve the Metadata assertions to fail early if more than one
matching item by name and type is found in the metadata.

sun.security.x509.AlgorithmId.get(String) isn't thread-safe and can
lead to null be returned for an algorithm that should be present.

This commit aims to work around this problem by avoiding the call
to AlgorithmId.get(String). It does so by configuring the
PKCS12 key protection algorithm to one that starts with
pbewithhmacsha (case insensitive). This short-circuits the logic
in PKCS12KeyStore.mapPBEAlgorithmToOID(String) and avoids the call to
AlgorithmId.get(String). Thanks again to @dreis2211 for the
suggestion.

The work around is only used when building with Java 8 as the problem
was fixed in Java 9.
