RFR(S): 7189971: Implement CMSWaitDuration for non-incremental mode of CMS

[Srinivas Ramakrishna]

The high level idea looks correct. I'll look at the details in a bit
(seriously this time; sorry it dropped off my plate last time I promised).
Does anyone have a pointer to the related discussion thread on this aias
from earlier in the year, by chance, so one could refresh one's
memory of that discussion?

Also you might want to check this with a very long CMSWaitDuration value
and +ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent, just to further sanity check.

thanks!
