RFR: 8019853 - Break logging and AWT circular dependency

[Mandy Chung]

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for getting this fixed.  The change looks good.  The 
JavaAWTContext.getAppletContext implementation looks good and clean 
(thanks to your comments).  It'd be good to get AWT team to review 
AppContext.java change (cc'ing Artem).
