      Coverity static-analysis scan found possible use of null object in FileSystemSecurityRealm.parseCredential() method.

      https://scan7.coverity.com/reports.htm#v16159/p11778/fileInstanceId=5760040&defectInstanceId=1541373&mergedDefectId=1369298&eventId=1541373-14
      If the format is not provided as an attribute in the provided XML stream, then the call

        String format = null;
        // ...
        function.parseCredential(algorithm, format, text);
      

      will fail for parsePublicKey method as the function code it contains code calling method of the format parameter (with possible null value).

      if (! format.equals("pkcs8")) {
          throw ElytronMessages.log.fileSystemRealmUnsupportedKeyFormat(format, path, streamReader.getLocation().getLineNumber(), name);
      }
