RFR: 8366865: Allocation GC Pauses Triggered after JVM has started shutdown [v8]

> Please review this patch to skip VM_GC_Collect_Operations  if initiated after the VM shutdown process has begun. We add a _is_shutting_down flag to CollectedHeap, which is set while holding the Heap_lock. This ensures mutual exclusion with VM_GC_Collect_Operations, which also require the Heap_lock.
> 
> Skipping VM_GC_Collect_Operation would otherwise cause allocation requests to fail (resulting in OutOfMemoryError) if requesting daemon threads were allowed to continue, we instead block these threads on a monitor. They remain stalled until they are terminated as part of the VM shutdown sequence.
> 
> Testing: Tier 1-7
