Hi all,
please review this change to implement `SoftMaxHeapSize` for G1.
Main change is that `SoftMaxHeapSize` now impacts the `G1IHOPControl::target_occupancy()`, i.e. the amount of bytes G1 when reclaim should start.
Most of the other changes are just about updating logging/JFR and making sure that the `SoftMaxHeapSize` values are consistent across calls.
Testing: tier1-5
Thanks,
Thomas
