Summary: The per-worker _new_refs array is used to hold references that point into the collection set. It is populated during RSet updating and subsequently processed. In the event of an evacuation failure it processed again to recreate the RSets of regions in the collection set. Remove the per-worker _new_refs array by processing the references directly. Use a DirtyCardQueue to hold the cards containing the references so that the RSets of regions in the collection set can be recreated when handling an evacuation failure.

6871109: G1: remove the concept of the scan only prefix
Summary: Removed scan only regions and associated code. The young portion of the collection set is now constructed incrementally - when a young region is retired as the current allocation region it is added to the collection set.

Summary: A TLAB became large enough to be considered a humongous object allowing multiple objects to be allocated in a humongous region, which violates a basic assumption about humongous regions. The changes ensure that TLABs cannot be regarded as humongous.

Summary: Deferred card marks are now flushed during the gc prologue. Parallel[Scavege,OldGC] and SerialGC no longer defer card marks generated by COMPILER2 as a result of ReduceInitialCardMarks. For these cases, introduced a diagnostic option to defer the card marks, only for the purposes of testing and diagnostics. CMS and G1 continue to defer card marks. Potential performance concern related to single-threaded flushing of deferred card marks in the gc prologue will be addressed in the future.

Summary: For heaps larger than 32Gb, the number of heap regions overflows the data type used to hold the region index in the SparsePRT structure. Changed the region indexes, card indexes, and RSet hash table buckets to ints and added some size overflow guarantees.
