RFR: 7159567 - inconsistent configuration of MemoryHandler

[Jim Gish]

Please review 
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jgish/Bug7159567-set-MemoryHandler-target/ 
<http://cr.openjdk.java.net/%7Ejgish/Bug7159567-set-MemoryHandler-target/>

Overview - currently you can sub-class java.util.logging.MemoryHandler 
and specify its configuration in a logging.properties file via the 
classname.  For example, if com.foo.MyMemoryHandler extends 
MemoryHandler, you can have:

logging.properties:

com.foo.MyMemoryHandler.push=WARNING
com.foo.MyMemoryHandler.level=FINEST
....
etc.

However, the only way to specify target is by using the global property, 
java.util.logging.MemoryHandler.target.  For example,

java.util.logging.MemoryHandler.target=java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler

This is clearly broken.  This bug fix allows you to say:

com.foo.MyMemoryHandler.target=java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler

Thanks,
    Jim
