RFR (XS) 8076759: AbstractStringBuilder.append(...) should ensure enough capacity for the upcoming "trivial" append calls

[Aleksey Shipilev]

Hi again,

Here is a new webrev:
  http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~shade/8076759/webrev.01/

Pruned the implementation details from expandCapacity Javadoc, and about
to submit a CCC for it.

Thanks,
-Aleksey.
