Summary: This change simplifies the interaction between GC and concurrent marking. By disabling survivor spaces during the initial-mark pause we don't need to propagate marks of objects we copy during each GC (since we never need to copy an explicitly marked object).

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

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.
