RFR: JDK-8204941: Refactor TemplateTable::_new to use MacroAssembler helpers for tlab and eden

[Roman Kennke]

Thank you Coleen and Vladimir for reviewing!

Yes, AArch64 does it better, some other platforms don't. I don't have
access to those other platforms, otherwise I'd fix them too.

I submitted the changeset for testing in Mach5.

Thanks,

Roman
