Summary: Parallelize the removal of self forwarding pointers etc. by wrapping in a HeapRegion closure, which is then wrapped inside an AbstractGangTask.

Summary: Introduce a flag that is set when a heap expansion attempt during a GC fails so that we do not consantly attempt to expand the heap when it's going to fail anyway. This not only prevents the excessive ergo output (which is generated when a region allocation fails) but also avoids excessive and ultimately unsuccessful expansion attempts.

Summary: Replaces calls to os::javaTimeMillis(), which does not (and cannot) guarantee monotonicity, in GC code to an equivalent expression that uses os::javaTimeNanos(). os::javaTimeNanos is guaranteed monotonically non-decreasing if the underlying platform provides a monotonic time source. Changes in OS files are to make use of the newly defined constants in globalDefinitions.hpp.
