Following the [JDK-8255796](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8255796) improvement that ditched the inline contiguous alloc use from Zero, we can now rely on GC interface to hook the GCs properly. G1 and Shenandoah are a bit special here, because they require special `Reference.get` handling.
Note that it does not change the default GC for Zero, because Zero is implicitly `NeverActAsServerMachine`, which still selects Serial GC by default. After this change, Zero users can opt-in to G1 or Shenandoah.
Additional testing:
- [x] Linux x86_64 Zero fastdebug `hotspot_gc_shenandoah` (some lingering failures about non-enabled compressed oops)
- [ ] Linux x86_64 Zero fastdebug `tier1` with `-XX:+UseG1GC`
