JDK-8130136 - Swing window sometimes fails to repaint partially when it becomes exposed
Description
When a DC becomes unused, it is moved from activeDCList to passiveDCList to be released later. It will stay in the passiveDCList until a new DC is requested for the same window or the window is destroyed.

In a scenario where several windows are created, shown, and then hidden, the stale DCs will be in the passiveDCList for quite a while. These DC will never be used again, they will be released sooner or later.

Thus we can release all DC from passiveDCList when a request for a new DC is received. It will reduce Java usage of GDI resources.

I attached printHDC.diff along with ManyFramesTest.java as the test case which demonstrate the problem. The log of running the test case is in printHDC.log. When all the frames but one are hidden, passiveDCList contains 9 entries. These entries will not be released until the corresponding window is painted again or destroyed.
