Summary: Reset the fields in ParGCAllocBuffer, that are used for accumulating values for the ResizePLAB sensors in PLABStats, to zero after flushing the values to the PLABStats fields. Flush PLABStats values only when retiring the final allocation buffers prior to disposing of a G1ParScanThreadState object, rather than when retiring every allocation buffer.

Summary: Add the flags G1EvacuationFailureALot flag (and supporting flags) to force trigger evacuation failures. The support flags control how often to trigger an evacuation failure and during which types of evacuation pause. This functionality is analogous to that of PromotionFailureALot for the other collectors.

Summary: Correct the result value of G1CollectedHeap::pending_card_num(). Change the code that calculates the GC efficiency of a non-young heap region to use historical data from mixed GCs and the actual number of live bytes when predicting how long it would take to collect the region. Changes were also reviewed by Thomas Schatzl.
