> Certain specific types of tests involving GC and reference processing need to account for the delay between a GC completing (during which the GC clears a Reference), and the Reference being added to its associated queue. At present, ad hoc mechanisms (with delays/timeout) are used, but can lead to intermittent test failures ([JDK-8298783](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8298783) is a recent example).
>
> A better mechanism already exists in the private `Reference.waitForReferenceProcessing()` method. This PR makes `waitForReferenceProcessing()` available to tests via the `WhiteBox` and `ForceGC` test libraries.
