Summary: Make G1 handle young gen size command line flags more consistently
Reviewed-by: tonyp, jwilhelm

Summary: Fixed inconsistencies and mistakes in the young list target length calculations so that a) the calculated target length is optimal (before, it was not), b) other parameters like max survivor size and max gc locker eden expansion are always consistent with the calculated target length (before, they were not always), and c) the resulting target length was always bound by desired min and max values (before, it was not).

Summary: If and when the reference handler thread is able to use the discovered field to link reference objects in its pending list, so will GC. In that case, GC will scan through this field once a reference object has been placed on the pending list, but not scan that field before that stage, as the field is used by the concurrent GC thread to link discovered objects. When ReferenceHandleR thread does not use the discovered field for the purpose of linking the elements in the pending list, as would be the case in older JDKs, the JVM will fall back to the old behaviour of using the next field for that purpose.

Summary: It introduces ergonomic decision logging in G1 for the following heuristics: heap sizing, collection set construction, concurrent cycle initiation, and partially-young GC start/end. The code has a bit of refactoring in a few places to make the decision logging possible. It also replaces alternative ad-hoc logging that we have under different parameters and switches (G1_DEBUG, G1PolicyVerbose).

Also add a check in the heap reservation code that the reserved space starts at the requested address (if any).
