8021003: java/util/logging/Logger/getGlobal/TestGetGlobalConcurrent.java fails intermittently
8019945: test/java/util/logging/LogManagerInstanceTest.java failing intermittently
Summary: This fix untangles the class initialization of Logger and LogManager, and also cleans up the relationship between LogManager, LoggerContext, and Logger, which were at the root cause of some intermittent test failures.

Summary: Break logging and AWT circular dependency, which was at the root cause for 8023258 - Logger.getLogger() after ImageIO.read() returns different logger instance
Reviewed-by: mchung, art

Summary: Due to subtle synchronization issues between LogManager & Logger class initialization the global logger doesn't have its 'manager' field initialized until the LogManager is initialized. This fix will ensure that the global logger has its 'manager' field set when getGlobal() is called.
