Hi,
Please review the following patch to fix an issue in UL causing the VM
to crash during shutdown.
The problem is that the static LogStdoutOutput is deinitialized before
the last use of it (G1 concurrent thread tries to log very late during
VM shutdown). The solution is to make sure neither LogStdoutOutput nor
LogStderrOutput are deinitialized during the full lifetime of the VM. To
accomplish this I've changed the storage from static objects to static
pointers to heap instances that are allocated & initialized on first use
[0]. These instances are never deleted and can always be used. Also
updated LogConfiguration::finalize to disable all file outputs before
deleting & freeing them.

Testing:
- local runs of the reproducer (500+ iterations without crashing)
- JPRT
Thanks,
Marcus
