Summary: Improve fast card cache iteration and avoid taking locks when freeing the collection set.
Reviewed-by: brutisso

Summary: Change the code cache remembered sets data structure from a GrowableArray to a chunked list of nmethods. This makes the data structure more amenable to parallelization, and decreases freeing time.

Summary: Use conservative assumptions of required alignment for the various garbage collector components into account when determining the maximum heap size that supports compressed oops. Using this conservative value avoids several circular dependencies in the calculation.

Summary: Create G1ParGCAllocBufferContainer to contain two buffers instead of previously using one buffer, in order to hold the first priority buffer longer. Thus, when some large objects hits the value of free space left in the first priority buffer it has an alternative to fit in the second priority buffer while the first priority buffer is given more chances to try allocating smaller objects. Overall, it will improve heap space efficiency.
