 summary: 6797480: Remove synchronization bottleneck in logger

 unfortunately introduced a serious bug.

 Logger.log should call Logger.getHandlers(), not Logger.handlers,
 because getHandlers may be overriden in a subclass.
 Notably, the root logger is such a subclass with a
 non-trivial getHandlers method.

 Here's the obvious fix, with a regression test that
 includes "penance" for our having broken j.u.l.
 by adding some much-needed tests for never-before-exercised code.

 Please review and file a bug.

 PATCH is here:
