8027454: Do not traverse string table during G1 remark when treating them as strong roots during initial mark
Summary: Do not try to unlink string table entries unconditionally during remark. This is without side effects as the preceding initial mark always uses the string table as strong roots. Needs to be fixed with class unloading during concurrent mark.

Summary: If the marking stack overflows while the marking tasks are draining the SATB buffers, remark will exit with some SATB buffers left unprocessed. Relax the guarantee to allow for overflow.

Summary: Skip reference processing if the global marking stack overflows during remark. Refactor and rename set_phase(); move code that sets the concurrency level into its own routine. Do not call set_phase() from within parallel reference processing; use the concurrency level routine instead. The marking state should only set reset by CMTask[0] during the concurrent phase of the marking cycle; if an overflow occurs at any stage during the remark, the marking state will be reset after reference processing.
