RFR(xs): 8146905 - cleanup ostream, staticBufferStream

[Thomas Stüfe]

Dear all,

please take a look at this small cleanup of ostream.

bug report: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8146905
webrev:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~stuefe/webrevs/8146905-get-rid-of-staticBufferStream/webrev.00/webrev/

Basically, it gets rid of the staticBufferStream class by moving its one
feature up to the parent outputStream class:

When printing the error log in vmError.cpp, we want to use as little stack
space as possible. outputStream class uses on-stack buffers to assemble
snprintf functions. So, staticBufferStream was introduced as a child of
outputStream which overwrites the print functions and makes them use a
caller provided buffer. It then delegates the real writing to a connected
stream object.

The problem with that approach is that this is not a good fit for a child
class.Not all operations possible with outputStream are cleanly delegated
to the connected stream class, so a staticBufferStream behaves sometimes
differently from all other streams (see e.g. JDK-8145410, which will be
automatically fixed with this change too).

Another problem is that this delegation model leads to some code
duplication, because all print() methods of outputStream are practically
duplicated in staticBufferStream.

Another cosmetic note is that all other child classes of outputStream
(bufferedStream, stringStream, fileStream...) are specializations in term
of log destination, not internal behaviour.

Note that I implemented this in a very simple way without using templates,
because I wanted to keep the changes as small as possible.

Kind Regards, Thomas
