6871109: G1: remove the concept of the scan only prefix
Summary: Removed scan only regions and associated code. The young portion of the collection set is now constructed incrementally - when a young region is retired as the current allocation region it is added to the collection set.

Summary: The outgoing region map is not maintained properly and it's causing an assert failure. Given that we don't actually use it, I'm removing it. I'm piggy-backing a small change on this which removes a message that it's printed before a Full GC when DisableExplicitGC is set.

Summary: Humongous regions may contain multiple objects as a result of being retained as to-space from a previous GC and then re-used as to-space after being tagged as humongous. These changes include a check that causes retained to-space regions that are now tagged as humongous to be disregarded and a new to-space region allocated.

Summary: Make sure that two marking cycles do not overlap, i.e., a new one can only start after the concurrent marking thread finishes all its work. In the fix I piggy-back a couple of minor extra fixes: some general code reformatting for consistency (only around the code I modified), the removal of a field (G1CollectorPolicy::_should_initiate_conc_mark) which doesn't seem to be used at all (it's only set but never read), as well as moving the "is GC locker active" test earlier into the G1 pause / Full GC and using a more appropriate method for it.

Summary: Calling the methods region_stack_push() and region_stack_pop() concurrent is not MT-safe. The assumption is that we will only call region_stack_push() during a GC pause and region_stack_pop() during marking. Unfortunately, we also call region_stack_push() during marking which seems to be introducing subtle marking failures. This change introduces lock-based methods for pushing / popping to be called during marking.
