Another debugging QoL improvement.  Currently, when there is a pointer into `OopStorage` that we need to decode for the error log, we just print:

  0x00007ad45c169e10 into live malloced block starting at 0x00007ad45c169dd0, size 632, tag mtInternal


This is reported by NMT after [JDK-8304815](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8304815). It is likely worse without NMT. We can actually decode which block in which `OopStorage` the address likely belongs to. This becomes handy when debugging GC crashes that involve `OopStorage`-handled roots.

This patch is able to print the following instead:


  0x0000000102c05bd0 is a pointer 2/64 into block 0 in oop storage "VM Global"
