Third time's the charm.

This patch makes log file rotation the default. Default thresholds are 5
rotated files with a target size of 20MiB. Truncating behavior can be
achieved by setting filecount to 0 (-Xlog::myfile.log::filecount=0).
If a log file already exists during log file initialization it will be
rotated. If any of the target file names (file.0 to file.4 in the
default case) are available, that filename will be used for the existing
log. If all names are taken the VM will attempt to overwrite the oldest
file.
This should prevent unlimited log file creations and avoid accidental
loss of log files from previous runs. The default thresholds (5 files,
20MiB each) is just a suggestion. If you think it should be higher/lower
let me know.
Tested with included internal VM tests through RBT.

Hi,
After some offline discussions I'm withdrawing this patch. I will
instead investigate if I can achieve similar behavior using log
rotation as the default.

Hi again,
Taking a different approach to this.
New webrev:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mlarsson/8146879/webrev.01/
Existing files will now by default be renamed/archived with a .X
suffix where X is the lowest number such that the resulting file name
is available (jvm.log becomes jvm.log.0). A mode option for
controlling this behavior has been added as well. It can be set to
archive, append, or truncate (i.e. -Xlog::jvm.log::mode=truncate).
Tested with included jtreg test through JPRT.

Hi,
Please review the following patch to make sure UL truncates existing
log files before writing to them. Since files are opened in append
mode, truncation isn't done automatically, so instead the patch adds
an attempt to remove the log file before opening it.
