RFR (S): 7176220 'Full GC' events miss date stamp information occasionally

Hi,

The format of the regular logs should be the same as before.

A sample of how they look after the change with the default GC is 
attached (running ./hsx24_hotspot-build/bin/java -Xmx2m -verbose:gc 
-XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps -Xloggc:gc.log HumongousAlloc)

Please let me know if you need me to run with any other flags or some 
other java program.

/Andreas
