> This PR introduces new IGV dumps, property fields and filters related to escape analysis information.
> 
> The C2 escape analysis algorithm is carried out in six primary steps, of which many have interesting sub-steps (e.g. `split_unique_types`) or present an iterative nature where access to intermediate results can aid debugging and analysis. Additionally, escape analysis relies on an "intermediate structure" called the _connection graph_, which is also particularly valuable for deeper investigations.
> 
> With this changeset, escape analysis information is now dumped at key points throughout the algorithm, with a degree of granularity (from only the basic steps to in-detail iterative dumping). The dumps include several property fields, such as:
> 
> - Node escape “level”.
> - Scalar replaceability.
> - Node type within the connection graph (per [C2 Escape Analysis connection graph](https://wiki.openjdk.org/display/HotSpot/EscapeAnalysis)).
> 
> This is achieved by passing the `ConnectionGraph` in use to the `IdealGraphPrinter` during escape analysis, so that these properties can be dumped. After escape analysis, remaining interesting information that is left until macro elimination (and consequent elimination of non-escaping, replaceable allocations) is also dumped.
> 
> Additionally, two filters are provided: one for displaying the connection node type in the IGV node box, and another one for color-scaling nodes based on their escaping/scalar status.
> 
> **Testing:** passes tiers 1-3, manual testing in IGV
