RFR 8060068 : Remove the static initializer block from DriverManager

[Lance Andersen]

Hi all,

Looking for a review for this change to DriverManager to reduce the possibility on a deadlock on <clinit>. that I have been discussing with Mandy.


The change removes the static initializer block as well as the synchronized keyword from registerDriver.

Best,
Lance
