RFR: 8204210: Implementation: JEP 333: ZGC: A Scalable Low-Latency Garbage Collector (Experimental)

I'm looking mostly at shared code changes. I can't really say much about
C2, JFR, SA, tests and ZGC itself.

Some comments/questions:

- src/hotspot/share/classfile/vmSymbols.cpp:
 why are you enabling the clone intrinsic unconditionally and not under
the usual:
if (!InlineObjectCopy || !InlineArrayCopy) return true;
?

- src/hotspot/share/oops/instanceRefKlass.inline.hpp
I wonder if this makes sense to upstream separately? Also, I'm curious
why we need to distinguish between weak and phantom?

- src/hotspot/share/runtime/stackValue.cpp
There's no reasonable way to abstract this via GC interface?

Very nice work!

Thanks,
Roman
