Summary: Fixed the output of G1SummarizeRSetStats: too small datatype for the number of concurrently processed cards, added concurrent remembered set thread time retrieval for Linux and Windows (BSD uses os::elapsedTime() now), and other cleanup. The information presented during VM operation is now relative to the previous output, not always cumulative if G1SummarizeRSetStatsPeriod > 0. At VM exit, the code prints a cumulative summary.
