Store the original string the JsonWebKeySet was created with

Just for my understanding, what's the reasoning for keeping the original string? When would it ever be used for, if it's already parsed into properties?

@pmaytak The original string can be used by the OIDC config manager to, on L2 cache reads, deserialize and store the keys alongside the metadata document without needing the JWKs to serialize the security keys

@westin-m But we can add additional keys and remove keys from Keys collection. So is there a benefit then to keeping the original JSON string if it can get out of sync? If we're serializing the key set, we'd want to serialize the current Keys always anyway?
