Summary: Remove the separate counting phase of concurrent marking by tracking the amount of marked bytes and the cards spanned by marked objects in marking task/worker thread local data structures, which are updated as individual objects are marked.

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).

7097053: G1: assert(da ? referent->is_oop() : referent->is_oop_or_null()) failed: referenceProcessor.cpp:1054
Summary: During remembered set scanning, the reference processor could discover a reference object whose referent was in the process of being copied and so may not be completely initialized. Do not perform reference discovery during remembered set scanning.

Summary: G1 now uses two reference processors - one is used by concurrent marking and the other is used by STW GCs (both full and incremental evacuation pauses). In an evacuation pause, the reference processor is embedded into the closures used to scan objects. Doing so causes causes reference objects to be 'discovered' by the reference processor. At the end of the evacuation pause, these discovered reference objects are processed - preserving (and copying) referent objects (and their reachable graphs) as appropriate.

Summary: As a result of the changes for 7080389, an evacuation failure during an initial mark pause may result in some root objects not being marked. Pass whether the caller is a root scanning closure into the evacuation failure handling code so that the thread that successfully forwards an object to itself also marks the object.

Summary: Refactor code marking code in the evacuation pause copy closures so that an evacuated object is only marked by the thread that successfully copies it.

Summary: Some optimizations to improve the concurrent marking phase: specialize the main oop closure, make sure a few methods in the fast path are properly inlined, a few more bits and pieces, and some cosmetic fixes.
