[8u-dev] Request for REVIEW and APPROVAL to backport: 8149330: Capacity of StringBuilder should not get close to Integer.MAX_VALUE unless necessary

Ivan,

Some examples of the stack trace encountered and links to OpenJDK 
reviews/discussions will help people who encounter this issue in the future.

Regards,
Sean.
