Summary: Allocate medium chunks for class metaspace when class loader
has lots of classes
I originally made class metaspace keep small chunks and not start
allocating from medium chunks, because I thought with only Klass
objects, small chunks is enough. This test has a large set of class
loaders who have a lot of classes, so allocated thousands of small
chunks each. Class loaders with that many classes should start
allocating from medium chunks, for class metaspace.
I also increased the ClassMediumChunk size to 4k and measured a lot less
fragmentation waste than 1K or 2K for this test. Lastly, the
AppClassLoader instance should have as large of an initial metaspace as
the bootclass loader.
Tested with vm.quick.testlist and the failing test.
