RFR: 8338882: Clarify matching order of MessageFormat subformat factory styles

Please review this PR which clarifies that the matching order of format styles for MessageFormat sub formats is not guaranteed by the JDK implementation. A corresponding CSR has also been drafted.

This is relevant when a locale provides equivalent patterns for multiple format factory styles. For example, a locale X could provide some equivalent date style "xyz" for both a MEDIUM and LONG style. Thus invoking toPattern() could output `date`, `date,medium`, or `date,long` depending on the order of such matching.
