This test runs Formatter.format with very large padding. Test fails before [JDK-8299677](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8299677) and passes after.

"8326718: Test java/util/Formatter/Padding.java _does_ timeout on large inputs _before_ fix in JDK-8299677"
or
"8326718: Test java/util/Formatter/Padding.java _does not_ timeout on large inputs _after_ JDK-8299677"

To me, 
"8326718: Test java/util/Formatter/Padding.java does not timeout on large inputs before fix in JDK-8299677"
as you propose, sounds like the fix JDK-8299677 didn't serve its intended purpose.
