> The AWTEventMulticaster is a tree node with 2 children. This PR proposes rebalancing that tree after 500 additions to avoid potential StackOverflowErrors when trying to interact with a large AWTEventMulticaster.
> 
> In the original headful test:
> We added 8,000 checkboxes, and when their parent panel was hidden the stack needed to grow to 24,000 lines. It took 8,000 lines to recursively call `java.awt.AWTEventMulticaster.componentHidden`, and then 16,000 additional lines to call two recursive methods to remove a listener:
> 
> java.desktop/java.awt.AWTEventMulticaster.removeInternal()
> java.desktop/java.awt.AWTEventMulticaster.remove()
> 
> 
> With this current PR the max stack size reaches 1,267 instead. (If we rebalanced at EVERY addition, then that same scenario would reach a max stack size of 71.)
> 
> JDK-8342782 included a headful test case, but I think the main problem it demonstrated can be represented by the headless test case attached to this PR.
> 
> Depending on how this PR is received I may submit a separate ticket & PR to modify AquaButtonUI so it doesn't always attach an AncestorListener. (That is: if my GUI includes 8,000 checkboxes then I don't need 8,000 AncestorListeners.) But JDK-8342782's test case is currently written in a way that should reproduce across all L&F's, so that can be discussed separately.
