> Goals
> 
> - Simplify the writing of the CDS archive heap
>     - We no longer need to allocate special "archive regions" during CDS dump time. See all the removed G1 code. 
> - Make it possible to (in a future RFE) write the CDS archive heap using any garbage collector
> 
> Implementation - the following runs inside a safepoint so heap objects aren't moving
> 
> - Find all the objects that should be archived
> - Allocate buffer using a GrowableArray
>     - Copy all "open" objects into the buffer
>     - Copy all "closed" objects into the buffer
> - Make sure the heap image can be mapped with all possible G1 region sizes: 
>     - While copying, add fillers to make sure no object spans across 1MB boundary (minimal G1 region size)
>     - Align the bottom of the "open" and "closed" objects at 1MB boundary
> - Write the buffer to disk as the image for the archive heap
> 
> Testing: tiers 1 ~ 5
