initialization aborted by UnsupportedOperationException from isAvailable()

The NCipher/Thales HSM security provider apparently doesn't like the setParameter(AlgorithmParameterSpec params) on Signature (for RSA PSS anyway) and throws an UnsupportedOperationException.

AlgorithmFactoryFactory initialization checks isAvailable() on all the algorithms to give them the opportunity to do whatever they need to do to see if the runtime environment supports what they need. It's fine if PSS isn't supported but in this case the runtime UnsupportedOperationException was being thrown out of isAvailable() and it kills the whole initialization process.

Initialization and isAvailable() need to handle runtime exceptions more robustly.
