Hi all,
this patch adds a new trace event -
vm/gc/metaspace/chunk_free_list_summary for getting statistics for
metaspace's chunk free lists. The event contains the numbers of chunks
in the free list and the size of the chunks in the free lists. This
information is provided for all different kinds of chunks - special,
small, medium and humongous.
This information will be useful when diagnosing fragmentation issues in
metaspace.

Enhancement:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8036703
Testing:
- JFR JTREG tests
- JPRT
- Manually verifying that the numbers look correct by looking at
recordings from small test cases.
Thanks,
Erik
