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).
