RFR: 8278341: Liveness check for global scope is not as fast as it could be

When doing some unrelated performance measurements, I realized that segments backed by global scope were still paying a relatively high cost for liveness checks - that's because GlobalScopeImpl extends from SharedScopeImpl, and does not override the `isAlive` method. This means that when checking for liveness, we will still do (in some cases - e.g. when calling `checkValidStateSlow`) a volatile VH get on the scope state - which is useless in this case.
This simple patch adds the missing override.
