Summary: The assert is invalid when a card is being refined by two different threads and its count crosses the hot threshold - the refinement count will be updated once by each thread triggering the assert. Remove the assert and update the count using a bounded expression.

Summary: Create G1ParGCAllocBufferContainer to contain two buffers instead of previously using one buffer, in order to hold the first priority buffer longer. Thus, when some large objects hits the value of free space left in the first priority buffer it has an alternative to fit in the second priority buffer while the first priority buffer is given more chances to try allocating smaller objects. Overall, it will improve heap space efficiency.

Summary: Fixed the output of G1SummarizeRSetStats: too small datatype for the number of concurrently processed cards, added concurrent remembered set thread time retrieval for Linux and Windows (BSD uses os::elapsedTime() now), and other cleanup. The information presented during VM operation is now relative to the previous output, not always cumulative if G1SummarizeRSetStatsPeriod > 0. At VM exit, the code prints a cumulative summary.

Summary: Refactor G1's hot card cache and card counts table into their own files. Simplify the card counts table, including removing the encoding of the card index in each entry. The card counts table now has a 1:1 correspondence with the cards spanned by heap. Space for the card counts table is reserved from virtual memory (rather than C heap) during JVM startup and is committed/expanded when the heap is expanded. Changes were also reviewed-by Vitaly Davidovich.
