7006814: sun.util.logging.PlatformLogger ability to override the
output format
The platform logger is using the SimpleFormatter to be same as the
default logging configuration. It prints 2 lines with the
timestamp. For debugging use, 1-line format will be simpler and
adequate. The number of lines output will be half. This fix allows to
switch to 1-line format by setting "sun.util.logging.oneLineFormat"
system property as an interim solution before 6381464 is fixed.

It seems a bit strange to have the platform logger support this but not
SimpleFormatter. Do you think there would be any compatibility concerns
if SimpleFormatter were changed to emit one line output? If not then it
might be simpler to change it along with the platform logger so that
this property isn't needed. If there is a concern then an alternative it
to change the platform logger so that it emits the one-line output by
default as it's only used in the platform.
