Summary: replace the combination of the G1SteadyStateUsed / G1SteadyStateUsedDelta parameteres to decide the marking initiation threshold and instead use InitiatingHeapOccupancyPercent.

Summary: Rename G1 parameters to make them more consistent.

Summary: Implemented block-based work stealing. Moved copying during the rset scanning phase to the main copying phase. Made the size of rset table depend on the region size.

Summary: Reworked the concurrent refinement: threads activation, feedback-based threshold adjustment, other miscellaneous fixes.

Summary: ScavengeALot now causes an incremental (but possibly partially young, in the G1 sense) collection. Some such collections may be abandoned on account of MMU specs. Band-aided a native leak associated with abandoned pauses, as well as an MMU tracker overflow related to frequent scavenge events in the face of a large MMU denominator interval; the latter is protected by a product flag that defaults to false.

Summary: Protected stats dump with a new develop flag; other than for the dump, reconciled product and non-product behaviour in face of the error.
Reviewed-by: tonyp

Summary: Added instrumentation and (temporary) assert in non-product mode; clipped the value when found out-of-bounds in product mode. Fix of original issue will follow collection of data from this instrumentation.
Reviewed-by: jcoomes, tonyp

Summary: the assert is incorrect and can fire incorrectly due to floating point inaccuracy.

Summary: The first worker thread is delayed when entering the GC because it clears the card count table that is used in identifying hot cards. Replace the card count table with a dynamically sized evicting hash table that includes an epoch based counter.

Summary: Instead of the region size being hard-coded, allow the user to set it.

Summary: Removing the concurrent overhead tracker from G1, along with the GC overhead reporter and the G1AccountConcurrentOverhead (both of which rely on the the concurrent overhead tracker).
