[8u20] Request for approval for 8029876: Add a test to verify that Logger.getLogger & LogManager.getLogManager don't throw NPE when System.out == null

[Daniel Fuchs]

Hi,

I would like to obtain approval to backport 8029876 [1] to JDK 8u dev:

8029876: Add a test to verify that Logger.getLogger
          & LogManager.getLogManager don't throw NPE
          when System.out == null
[1] https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8029876

This is a clean import/export of the JDK 9 changeset [2],
the review [3] was conducted on core-libs-dev at openjdk.java.net

best regards,
