Description
As part of the compact profiles work for JDK8, and also for JDK modularization, we need to decouple the properties methods that depend on XML so that a complete JAXP is not required to use these methods.

This issue tracks changing Properties so that it makes use of ServiceLoader to locate an implementation. A second phase will add a small parser that can be used a fallback when JAXP is not present.
