Hi all,
can I get reviews for this change that removes the "Allocation of old generation of Java heap on alternate memory devices" functionality introduced with JDK 12 with [JDK-8202286](https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8202286) due to being
- not used by anyone
- not maintained by anyone, i.e. several bugs open for a long time and bit rotting
- requiring some workarounds for new feature development wrt to heap management
All flags covered by this feature were experimental flags, so there are no additional procedural issues to take.
I tried to remove all but a few minor cleanups that I thought useful, but of course this is very subjective.
Testing: hs-tier1-5
